SUMMARY:WEBINAARI: EXHIBITION JA GROUP EXPLORER -RAHOITUSPALVELUIDEN UUDISTUKSET
DESCRIPTION:Business Finland provides Exhibition Explorer funding to support the participation to International Trade Fairs. Photonics Finland member companies benefits this funding when joining to Photonics Finland Pavilions at Photonics West and Laser World of Photonics.  \n\n\n\nExhibition Explorer funding has been reformed so that a maximum of EUR 15\,000 (previously EUR 35\,000) per trade fair project can be granted to a single company. Grants are awarded for up to 50% of eligible costs\, which now applies not only to SMEs but also to midcap companies (previously for midcaps up to 40% of eligible costs). \n\n\n\nThe decrease in the maximum grant per project can be compensated for by companies joining forces and funding by participating in trade fairs at joint stands. Funding will continue to be granted both to separate stand or joint stands of companies. \n\n\n\nThe basic condition for granting funding will continue to be\, with certain established exceptions\, that at least four Finnish SMEs or midcap companies apply for Exhibition Explorer funding for the same trade fair.

SUMMARY:PhotonHub Europe Training: Spectral imaging and its applications
DESCRIPTION:You thought black and white to RGB was a huge step? How about going hyperspectral? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpectral imaging is powerful tool in modern science\, machine vision\, medicine\, industry\, agriculture\, forestry\, arts\, and many other areas of modern human activities. Spectral imaging provides an easy way to compare and distinguish objects which look similar to human eyes\, but actually different.  \n\n\n\nThis one-day hands-on training course provides opportunity to understand how you can apply spectral imaging in your own field: science\, industry\, biology\, medicine\, arts. \n\n\n\nThe course will focus on three technology demonstrations: \n\n\n\n\nSpectra and spectroscopy – a simple way to distinguish objects; \n\n\n\nSpectral cameras and their applications; \n\n\n\nSpectral data processing using non-commercial software (on example of Python). \n\n\n\n\nCourse attendees will learn how they could arrange spectral measurements and spectral data processing in their own field. \n\n\n\nIf you have any questions\, contact Ana Gebejes by email: ana.gebejes(a)photonics.fi

SUMMARY:PhotonHub Europe training: Thick-SOI photonics for sensing and imaging
DESCRIPTION:Training description:Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) can be realized on many different technology platforms and used for numerous different applications. This course focuses on the so-called Thick-SOI platform and its use for sensing and imaging applications in the near and mid-infrared region. Primary focus is on 3 µm thick silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguide technology\, which is the most mature PIC technology platform at VTT. This platform is also available for small-to-medium volume contract manufacturing via VTT. Process design kits are available in multiple PIC design software platforms. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis one-day hands-on training course provides an overview of the Thick-SOI PIC platform and its feasibility in sensing and imaging applications. A clean room tour in Micronova offers an overview of the used fabrication methods and facilities. Hands-on training includes 1) the design of 3 µm SOI PICs using PIC design software\, 2) a tour in the clean room and 3) PIC testing in the photonics measurement lab. The last part includes semi-automated fiber-to-waveguide alignment\, optical beam steering with an optical phased array (OPA) and testing of silicon photonic chips. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTarget audience:It is desirable but not essential that course attendees have a basic understanding of photonics. The course is ideally suited to those planning to develop new photonic products based on low-loss PICs operating within the 1.2-6 µm wavelength range where the thick (µm-scale) SOI waveguides can operate. Training is primarily intended for industrial participants\, but also academic participants and students are welcome. \n\n\n\nSee the PDF slides for the event HERE\, and remember to make your registration HERE.
