Photonics Chip Demo Day: Technologies and Applications

Photonics Research Group, Ghent University - IMEC

Join us for the Photonics Chip Demo Day on the 9th of May 2023 to experience live demonstrations of photonics chip technologies.

UGent Campus Ardoyen

An excellent opportunity to learn from experts in the field, network, and discover what this new wave of innovation in Flanders entails.

T﻿he iGent building is located in the Tech Lane Ghent Science Park in Zwijnaarde and can be accessed by public transport, bike, or car. Detailed instructions can be found on <a href="http://www.techlane.be/contact-us/#travel" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Tech Lane's website</a> .If travelling by car: free entry and parking to the science park can be granted by selecting "parking admission" in the tickets section.

T﻿his event is organized in the context of PhotonHub Europe, a one-stop-shop open access to photonics innovation support for a digital Europe. Funded by the European Commission.

Morning Program

Coffee

Introduction to photonics and photonic chips by photonics research group senior professors & novel use cases and photonics products by Flemish companies

Welcome and Introductory presentations

You can walk through different demos and experience first hand what the technology can do.

Tour of demos

Lunch

Afternoon Program

We start the afternoon with an overview of sensing in photonics. Diving deeper into the current capabilities and limitations of photonic sensing and how we develop new and better sensors in Ghent

Sensing in integrated photonics: presentation

One application of tunable lasers is to allow for spectroscopy without the need for a spectrometer

Tunable lasers and spectroscopy

Laser Doppler vibrometry allows for a contact-free way of detecting vibrations and movements. In the Inside and Cardis projects this technology is used for measuring blood flow in arteries.

Laser Doppler vibrometry and flow measurements

We end the day with a hands-on workshop showing how we characterize chips.
