08.30 | ![]() | Integrated Photonics for a Sustainable Information Society Integrated photonics has become a relevant technology in the broad set of semiconductor technologies. Alternatively known as optical chips, in integrated photonics optical functionalities, such as lasers, modulators, photodetectors, filters and waveguides, are integrated together on a semiconductor substrate, into a photonic integrated circuit. Initially, it was used to enable long-haul telecommunications, through optical fibers, connecting cities, countries and continents with the internet. Nowadays, such communication links are getting into the servers and even into the processors, to enable high-bandwidth and energy-efficient communication in our datacenters and supercomputers. It is thus a key enabler for big data and artificial intelligence. Moreover, with this advance and maturing of the technology, new opportunities have arisen. These include applications in fiber sensors, biomedical sensors, metrology and even quantum and optical computing. In this talk, I will explain the technology, and show how it is and will be a key enabling technology for the future information society.
