Silicon photonic integrated circuits have allowed for incredible advances in a number of fields, including LiDAR, signal processing, sensors, and data transmission, in part due to the manufacturability of CMOS compatible processes. However, silicon is a poor light emitter, and the integration of compound semiconductor lasers with silicon photonics remains a common challenge.

The SiEPICfab-ePIXfab Workshop on Laser Integration in Silicon Photonics brings together experts in various fields to discuss the most promising approaches of laser integration and the applications that will be enabled by this capability. Participation in experimental MPWs using two of these approaches (transfer printing and photonic wire bonding) will be offered as an option in this workshop

Schedule

Dates: November 15 to November 18, 2021: 5 PM (CET) / 8 AM (PST) and will end at 7 PM (CET) / 10 AM (PST)

Practical information

The experimental MPW is for scientific evaluation and it will provide a low TRL implementation of laser integration with silicon photonics chips.
