SUMMARY:OPD2024 WEEK: 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\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\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\nPrice: Price is 100 € until 15th April (early-bird price) and 200 € after that.  \n\n\n\nSee the PDF slides for the event HERE\, and remember to make your registration HERE.

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. In the future\, there will no longer be a minimum requirement for the number of SMEs in such a group. \n\n\n\nJoin Business Finland Info Teams webinar on 22.

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.

SUMMARY:Fotoniikan kaupunkiekosysteemiprojektin (FKE) Kick off -tilaisuus
DESCRIPTION:Tervetuloa Fotoniikan kaupunkiekosysteemiprojektin (FKE) Kick off -tilaisuuteen Teamsin välityksellä. \n\n\n\nTilaisuus on avoin kaikille eikä siihen tarvitse erikseen ilmoittautua. Linkki verkkotapahtumaan löytyy tämän sivun alaosasta. \n\n\n\nFKE projekti keskittyy kaupunkien väliseen yhteistyöhön fotoniikka-alan kehittämisessä. Tavoitteenamme on luoda verkosto ja toimintamalli eri kaupunkien välille\, jota voidaan tehokkaasti hyödyntää fotoniikkaa innovaatioiden edistämiseksi. Hankkeemme perustuu vahvaan yhteistyöhön ja tiedonjakoon kaupunkien välillä\, mikä on olennainen osa fotoniikka-alan kasvun ja menestyksen tukemista. Projekti tukee myös Chip Act -toimintojen kehittämistä kumppanikaupungeissa\, mukaan lukien Joensuu\, Tampere\, Oulu ja pääkaupunkiseutu. Kaupunkien välinen yhteistyö synnyttää synergiaetuja\, vahvistaa tutkimusympäristöjä ja mahdollistaa resurssien tehokkaamman käytön. \n\n\n\nProjektin toteuttaa Business Joensuu\, Business Tampere sekä VTT ja se on Euroopan unionin osarahoittama. \n\n\n\nInnokaupungit toteuttavat kehityshankkeita kestävän siirtymän\, digitalisaation ja muiden uusien teknologioiden sekä terveyden ja hyvinvoinnin teemojen alla. Hankkeet ovat kaupunkien solmimien ekosysteemisopimusten mukaisia\, ja niissä korostuu kaupunkien oma kärkiosaaminen. Kärkiosaamisen lisäksi kaupunkien vahvuuksia halutaan tuoda yhteen vetovastuuteemoissa eli vetovastuuhankkeissa\, jotka saavat erillistä rahoitusta. Vetovastuuhankkeita tarvitaan\, jotta voidaan tukea osaamisalojen verkostoja ja kansainvälisesti kiinnostavien kokonaisuuksien syntymistä: temaattinen yhteistyö tuo kaupunkien voimavaroja yhteen ja edistää hyvien käytäntöjen leviämistä ja kansainvälistä yhteistyötä\, kuten kansainvälisiä yhteishankkeita ja investointeja. Fotoniikan kaupunkiekosysteemi on yksi kuudesta vetovastuuhankkeesta. \n\n\n\nOhjelma \n\n\n\n13:00 13:05 Avaus  \n\n\n\n13:05 13:20 Innokaupungit ohjelma ja vetovastuu\, Tiina Ramstendt-Sen\, Pirkanmaan liitto \n\n\n\n13:20 13:30 Fotoniikan merkitys Joensuun kaupungille\, Seppo Tossavainen\, Joensuun kaupunki \n\n\n\n13:30 13:50 Developing international networks for Photonics\, Oliver Hussey\, Business Tampere \n\n\n\n13:50 14:00 Terveysteknologiat kehittyvät fotoniikan avulla\, Jussi Hiltunen\, VTT \n\n\n\n14:00 14:15 Fotoniikan kaupunkiekosysteemi hanke\, Juha Purmonen\, Business Joensuu \n\n\n\n14:15 14:25 Fotoniikka-alan yritykset joustavasti käsiksi olemassa olevaan tutkimusinfraan\, Christiina Liedert\, VTT \n\n\n\n14:25 14:45 EU Chips Act – Siruja Suomesta\, Kari Leino\, Business Finland \n\n\n\n14:45 15:00 Kysymykset ja loppukeskustelu FKE tiimi \n\n\n\nLINKKI TILAISUUTEEN
