HyperLight Demonstrates Low-Power 1.6T-DR8 TFLN-based Reference Transceiver Assembled by TFC

  CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Monday, 16. March 2026 AETOSWire  



(BUSINESS WIRE)--HyperLight Corporation (“HyperLight”) today announced a major milestone in low-power optical networking with the demonstration of a 1.6T-DR8 optical transceiver leveraging HyperLight’s TFLN Chiplet™ Platform.


The reference module was demonstrated with engineering and manufacturing support from Suzhou TFC Optical Communication Co., Ltd. (SZSE: 300394, or "TFC"). The reference design achieves 20W power consumption in a fully retimed 1.6T-DR8 module, representing approximately 20% lower module-level power compared to alternative technologies. The reduction is achieved through a simple drop-in transmitter implementation based on a single thin-film lithium niobate photonic integrated circuit (TFLN PIC).


The TFLN transmitter enables the module to operate using a single continuous-wave (CW) laser, compared to the two to four lasers typically required in conventional implementations. Additional energy savings are achieved through the ability to operate directly from the native low-swing electrical output of the DSP, enabled by the low drive voltage of TFLN modulators.


“TFLN is a key technology for future 400Gbps-per-lane optical systems,” said Mian Zhang, CEO of HyperLight. “What we are demonstrating today is that even at the current 200Gbps-per-lane generation, TFLN can already deliver massive power savings. At the scale of modern AI data centers, that translates into megawatts of potential energy reduction. Our work with TFC demonstrates how readily HyperLight’s technology can integrate into existing optical module ecosystems.”


HyperLight will demonstrate the module live at OFC 2026, taking place March 16–18 in Los Angeles, California.


About HyperLight


HyperLight delivers high-performance integrated photonics solutions based on thin-film lithium niobate technology. The company combines the electro-optic advantages of TFLN with scalable manufacturing, test, and integration to enable next-generation optical engines for AI data centers, telecom and metro networks, and emerging photonics markets.

SBC Medical Announces Opening of Brand Flagship "NEO Skin Clinic Ginza."

 IRVINE, Calif. - Monday, 16. March 2026 AETOSWire Print 



 Accelerating multi-branding strategy in aesthetic healthcare with global presence in Tokyo’s premier district


(BUSINESS WIRE)--SBC Medical Group Holdings Incorporated (Nasdaq: SBC) (“SBC Medical” or the “Company”), a Management Services Organization operating a wide range of franchise businesses across diverse medical fields, today announced that its specialized aesthetic brand, “NEO Skin Clinic,” will open its flagship location in Tokyo’s Ginza district, a globally recognized medical tourism hub and highly competitive district, on Saturday, March 28, 2026.


 


The Ginza flagship, located in a prime area near GINZA SIX, will feature dedicated VIP rooms for executive clientele and the growing number of international patients, strengthening the brand’s global presence. Leveraging its robust network of 283 affiliated clinics (as of December 2025) and extensive clinical data, SBC Medical continues to advance its multi-branding strategy to meet evolving market needs.


Following the successful validation of the business model at the Ebisu clinic launched in April 2025, the new flagship in Ginza is expected to further diversify the Group’s revenue base and improve profitability through a high-value-added service model.


The aesthetic healthcare sector is undergoing rapid evolution, driven by the continuous development of new treatment devices and formulations, which is increasing consumer awareness and demand.

The Company plans to further expand its footprint into the Nagoya and Kobe areas by the end of 2026, aiming for sustainable growth and long-term enhancement of corporate value.


Message from Soichiro Morikawa, M.D., Director


I believe that the essence of aesthetic healthcare lies not merely in the 'procedure' itself, but in the precision of 'diagnosis' and 'treatment' that dictates the final outcome. Every customer is unique—skin condition, fat distribution, muscle movement, and the progression of aging vary from person to person. At NEO Skin Clinic Ginza, I place the highest priority on designing treatment strategies based on rigorous medical evidence, taking into account both the customer’s current state and future physiological changes. Whether using injectable therapies or advanced energy-based devices, achieving natural and sustainable results requires a deep understanding of each modality’s characteristics, applied at the optimal timing and in the right combination. My commitment is to provide aesthetic dermatology that moves beyond subjective intuition, focusing instead on evidence-based care to ensure long-term beauty and facial harmony.

The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship is known as the next evolution of motorsport. As the world’s first all-electric series, Formula E operates as a high-speed ‘living laboratory’ where innovation and adrenaline collide.


The championship has achieved the milestone of 150 races, and serves as a vital test bed for the world’s leading automotive manufacturers - including Porsche, Jaguar, Nissan, Stellantis, Mahindra and Lola Cars - to innovate and refine the electric vehicle (EV) technologies that will define future urban mobility.


Underpinning this performance is a profound commitment to impact. Formula E is a Certified B Corp - the world’s first and only sport to achieve this designation - reflecting its dedication to high standards of social and environmental transparency. It also stands as the only sport in the world to be Net Zero Carbon since inception and recently became the first to achieve the BSI Net Zero Pathway certification, setting a new global benchmark for science-based climate action.


As a progressive challenger in the sports landscape, Formula E is defined by unpredictable, wheel-to-wheel competition. In 11 seasons, the series has crowned 10 different champions, proving it to be one of the most competitive and open titles in world championship level sport. With a commitment to accessibility and a grid of world-class drivers and manufacturers, the series continues to rewrite the rules of elite sport, engaging a new generation who value purposeful ambition and fearless action.
