Photonic breadboards: next generation components for net-zero photonics research

1 Nov 2022 to 30 Apr 2023

Awarded
£25,138
Total cost £25,138

Photonics is set to become the UKs third most productive manufacturing sector by 2035 with many innovations enabled by photonic integrated circuits (PICs). The development of PICs, whilst necessary, requires many energy intensive cycles which negatively affect the environment. These development cycles are needed because once fabricated the layout of the d...
