What Does Integrated Photonics Mean for Your Business?
We help companies understand what integrated photonics means for their specific products and markets
The Trend
From Big, Bulky, and Expensive to Smaller, Faster, and Cheaper
Electronics made this transition decades ago. Rooms full of vacuum tubes became chips in your pocket. Photonics is on the same trajectory: discrete optical components, hand-assembled and expensive, are being replaced by photonic integrated circuits manufactured at scale. The companies that understand this shift early will lead the next generation of products.
Translate
Move efficiently from discrete optical and photonic assemblies to on-chip photonic devices.
Integrate
Achieve SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) reductions by consolidating optical functions.
Scale
On-ramp to high-volume manufacturing for lower costs.
Workshops & Training
Learning for Engineers and Teams
Our training programs are designed for technical teams and business leaders who need to understand integrated photonics in practical terms.
Integrated Photonics
Introductory WorkshopFor teams experienced in discrete optical systems who want to understand what integrated photonics means for their work. Covers the fundamental differences between discrete and integrated photonic approaches, when integration makes sense, and how to evaluate the right solution for your specific products.
PIC Design Fundamentals
Technical WorkshopBasic photonic integrated circuit design and layout. Covers waveguide structures, coupling mechanisms, platform and foundry selection (including silicon photonics and III-V), and an introduction to photonic design automation tools used in industry.
Packaging & Test Fundamentals
Technical WorkshopCovers photonic packaging techniques such as fiber-to-chip attach, die bonding, hermetic sealing, thermal management, and package validation. The testing portion covers PIC wafer and die testing, along with functional and environmental testing of packaged photonic devices.
Photonics for Your Sector
Industry-Specific WorkshopTailored sessions for remote sensing, defense, quantum, space instrumentation, and precision agriculture teams. We bring in domain experts to show how integrated photonics applies to your specific use cases, with real examples from each sector.
