Problem
Testing and controlling photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and other low-power devices often requires bulky, expensive, and complex source measurement units (SMUs). Existing solutions lack the channel density and cost-effectiveness needed for emerging applications in AI, data centers, and quantum computing.
Solution
Nicslab provides compact, programmable multichannel source measurement units (SMUs) that integrate electronics and photonics circuits on a single chip. Their fabless IC design enables high-speed silicon photonics networking and efficient light control for information processing. The SMUs offer a high channel count at a lower cost compared to traditional solutions, facilitating accurate voltage and current control and measurement for a wide range of low-power applications, including PIC biasing, photodiode current measurement, and fuel cell testing. The devices are designed for simple setup and ease of use, with a user-friendly GUI and Python API for custom control and automation.
