In partnership with the University of British Columbia, CMC Microsystems is providing an opportunity for training in the design, fabrication and test of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) targeting IMEC's silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology. This training can be integrated with your research or as a stand-alone learning opportunity. Target applications include Optical Communications and Sensors.
Special Note:
For those interested, the CMOSET conference will be held in Whistler with the photonics sessions immediately following the workshop (all day Thursday June 16, 2011). Transportation will be available (round-trip bus-fare of $100, or by car-pooling with local attendees/instructors). www.cmoset.com/2011.html
The CMOSET program on photonics is a full-day event with over 20 invited high-quality international speakers. Several examples of talks are directly relevant to this course: Keren Bergman – Design Methodologies and Challenges of Chip-Scale Silicon Photonic Interconnects for High-Performance Computing; Hyundai Park – Intel: Silicon photonic devices and optical links; Tom Palkert – Xilinx: Silicon photonics for next-generation communications (enabling Terabit Ethernet); Dinesh Patil, Ashok Krishnamoorthy, Oracle: Circuit design challenges in inter-chip optical interconnects; Cun-Zheng Ning, Arizona State – Nanolasers: approaching the ultimate size limit.
