Lecture Abstract:

The American Institute for Manufacturing Integrated Photonics (AIM Photonics) specifically addresses photonics and electronic-photonic packaging and, more broadly, heterogeneous integration and advanced packaging. AIM Photonics mission is to:

• Advance integrated photonic circuit manufacturing technology development

• Meet commercial, defense and civilian agency needs by providing accessible technology

• Create an adaptive integrated photonic circuit workforce

Photonics is an important area because it enables bandwidth-scalability, energy-efficiency, and modular-upgradeability across nearly all applications. Electronic scaling is dependent on photonics because it is interconnect-driven. The scaling of photonics is dependent on co-packaged optics (CPO), which is the tight integration of electronics and photonics on the same substrate in the package. 

In this talk we will discuss some of the key application areas in photonics and highlight some of the approaches and challenges in CPO. We will also review the technologies available at AIM Photonics and what AIM is doing to advance integrated photonics.
