Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) is one of the best American stocks to buy and hold for the next 3 years. On September 29, GlobalFoundries Inc. (NASDAQ:GFS) and Corning Incorporated announced a collaboration to develop detachable fiber connector solutions for GlobalFoundries’ silicon photonics platform. The initiative will meet the increasing requirements of AI datacenters for high bandwidth and power-efficient optical connectivity by enabling co-packaged optics solutions.
The collaboration pairs Corning’s established supply chain and leadership in optical interconnect technologies with GF’s high-volume manufacturing capabilities in silicon photonics. The core of the initial collaboration is Corning’s GlassBridge solution, which is a glass-waveguide-based edge-coupler compatible with the v-grooves on GF’s silicon photonics platform.
The companies are also developing a vertically-coupled detachable fiber-to-PIC/Photonic Integrated Circuit solution, demonstrating their combined ability to produce multiple forms of co-packaged PIC-to-fiber connectivity. This effort uses Corning’s world-leading innovation, which includes a broad portfolio of special glass compositions, glass wafer, IOX, laser processing, and Fiber Array Units/FAUs that use fibers with ultra-precise core alignments to minimize insertion loss for demanding data center and high-performance computing applications.
Corning Incorporated operates in optical communications, display technologies, environmental technologies, specialty materials, and life sciences businesses.
