First Light in IPN's New Nanophotonic Setup
The Integrated Photonics & Nanoelectronics Team made a fantastic job in the last weeks rebuilding their optical setup at Park Innovaare. Today marked a milestone in the successful restart of measurements, as all instruments of the main micro-photoluminescence setup were tested and the first calibartion taken. The group looks forward to installing all other remaining components and going through a meticulous alignment routine.
Sustainable Group-IV Active Photonics Research Sinergia Project granted
We are excited to announce that our joint Sinergia Project: Sustainable Group-IV Active Photonics Research (SUGAR) has been approved for funding by the SNSF and will start in the spring of 2024. SUGAR is an interdisciplinary project that aims to develop a more sustainable photonics platform, based on group IV elements (Si, Ge, Sn). The proposal emphasizes sustainability throughout the entire device life-cycle, incorporating life cycle assessment (LCA) from extraction to end-of-life.
Park Innovaare Cleanroom Name is: PICO
We are happy to announce that the new Cleanroom Name in the Park Innovaare will be PICO = Park Innovaare Cleanroom for Optics and innovation.
Next Step – we will work on a Logo (ideas welcome), together with PiA.
