On 16th September took place EPIC online technology meeting on Photonics Hybrid Integrated Circuits. EPIC Hybrid Photonic Chips is an online meeting for photonics companies focused on the latest advances in hybrid integration technologies for photonic integrated circuits (PICs). Hybrid integration combines different materials, components, and fabrication processes to create photonic integrated circuits with optimized performance and functionality. The event featured presentations and discussions from industry leaders within EPIC – European Photonics Industry Consortium. Participants could learn about the latest advances in hybrid integration technologies, emerging applications of hybrid photonic chips, and challenges facing the industry. The event provided an opportunity for attendees to connect and collaborate with peers, exchange ideas and best practices, and gain valuable insights into the future of hybrid photonic chips in areas such as telecommunications, data centers, sensing, and quantum technologies.
In the meeting participated Aivars Vembris, Head of Laboratory of Organic Materials and and Aleksejs Bendins, Engineer at Micro and Nanodevices Laboratory ISSP UL.
