Access to Photonic Integration Technology in Europe
Organized by the ePIXnet Platforms
When: Friday 27 February 2009 (9h30 - 18h30)
Venue: Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (the Netherlands)
Meeting Scope:
Photonic ICs (PICs) have broad application in advanced equipment; for example in telecoms, datacoms, sensing, health care and metrology. They can replace optical subsystems consisting of discrete or hybrid, integrated components with cheaper and smaller PICs, or allow the development of entirely new functionality. The ePIXnet photonic integration platforms offer services for cost-effective prototyping of PICs, from fabrication to packaging and high-speed testing. The goal of the workshop is to inform potential users of the opportunities which access to photonic integration technology can provide and give the opportunity to network with the platform organizers. The meeting will be attractive to enterprises as well as universities.
