Workshop on Envisioning the horizons of photonic integration

Sala Conferenze
Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria Politecnico di Milano

Integrated technologies enable to generate, manipulate and detect the light on small photonic chips, potentially hosting hundreds of different functions.

Yet, it is not clear what is still missing to make photonic integration penetrate disruptively into the market, and ultimately into everyday life, replacing current technologies.

Spanning across the entire production chain of integrated photonics, from technology level to packaging and control, this workshop aims to provide a broad range view, envisioning short and medium term perspectives in the photonics exploitation roadmap.
