Integrated Photonics on Silicon for the Visible Spectrum
Hosted By: Integrated Photonics Technical Group
07 July 2021 11:00 - 12:00
Eastern Time (US & Canada) (UTC -05:00)Foundry silicon photonics leverages the maturity of CMOS manufacturing to realize photonic integrated circuits. Today, silicon photonics is largely optimized for the short-wave infrared spectrum for fiber optic communications. In this OSA Integrated Photonics Technical Group webinar, Joyce Poon will discuss the opportunities and challenges in taking silicon photonics technology to the visible spectrum, where it can address new applications, such as neural implants, fluorescence imaging, and quantum computing.
Subject Matter Level:
