The Photonic Integration Conference is a one-day executive meeting explaining why integrated photonics is vital to keep our world communicating and connected in the 21st century. Global experts are meetingon the 23rd September in Eindhoven to discuss about the latest trends in the generic integration platforms and foundry models, the integration of photonics with microelectronics at different levels, and the exploitation of new materials and fibres.
Our CEO Iñigo Artundo was interviewed in a lengthy piece for the occasion (“The Next Step in Integrated Optics”), and he will be giving a talk at 14:00 in the conference about ‘Interfacing with foundries from an external user point of view’. Make sure to register in time and attend this must-be event in the heart of Europe.
JePPIX is an European organization that assists anyone around the globe to get access to advanced fabrication facilities for Photonic Integrated Circuits in InP and TriPleX technologies, aiming at low-cost prototyping by promoting the generic foundry model and multi-project wafer runs.. As such, it links several manufacturing and packaging partners, photonic CAD software providers, and photonic ICs design houses like VLC Photonics.
Jose Capmany, one of the founders of VLC Photonics and currently the director of the iTEAM R&D institute at the Universidad Politecnica de Valencia, has been awarded a professorship under the CAS President’s International Fellowship Initiative (PIFI) for Distinguished Scientists in 2015, by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. This has come as a recognition to his work in the microwave photonics, optical telecommunications and photonic integration fields.
