The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has selected a partnership led by the Optoelectronics Industry Development Association (OIDA) to serve as the U.S. broker for the U.S.-Japan Joint Optoelectronics Project. This project aims to advance research and development of optoelectronics for advanced computing technologies that combine optical and electronic components.
The broker’s role is to connect designers of optoelectronic systems with component suppliers in both countries, enabling designers to evaluate their ideas by producing experimental prototypes. In Japan, the Optoelectronic Industry and Technology Development Association will serve as the country’s broker.
The project is part of Japan’s Real World Computing Partnership, a 10-year, $700 million initiative to develop next-generation information-processing technologies. The U.S. broker partnership, led by OIDA, includes George Mason University, Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation (MCC), and MOSIS, a component of the Information Sciences Institute at the University of Southern California.
