Advanced Packaging Insights: Inside AIM Photonics’ TAP Facility
This episode of Photonics in Focus features Chris Striemer, AIM Photonics’ Director of Test, Assembly, and Packaging (TAP) Operations, and Mark Wagner, Operations Manager at AIM Photonics’ TAP facility in Rochester.
They discuss the advanced test, assembly and packaging services at TAP available to U.S. entrepreneurs, and how these capabilities fill a critical gap for accessible and affordable photonic integrated circuit (PIC) prototype development.
The conversation highlights TAP’s role in providing domestic resources for electronic-photonic packaging, helping members and partners move ideas from design to demonstration more effectively and supporting the growth of the U.S. integrated photonics industry.
