Photonic integration:
advanced materials, new technologies and applications
1st School of IEEE Photonic Society – Italian Chapter
Erice, 25th September– 1st October, 2016
Purpose of the course
The first school of the Italian Chapter of the IEEE Photonics Society is aimed to PhD students and Post-docs in Engineering and Physics in the field of photonic technologies. Topics of the course encompass advanced material properties, device design, technologies and applications of Photonics in different fields like telecom, sensing, interconnections, quantum information. Photonic integration is the key issue of this first course, which involves novel design techniques and fabrication processes to make integrated optic devices and systems for novel industrial products. Industrial point of view will be also considered indeed. Lectures will be given by international first class scientists coming from prestigious Italian and foreign universities, research centres and industrial laboratories. The course will be also an ideal forum to trigger new cultural exchanges and foster new collaborations in the field of photonics.
