SUMMARY:OPD2024 WEEK: EPIC Technology Meeting on Photonics for XR: through emerging technologies and challenges at Microsoft
DESCRIPTION:This technology meeting will bring together experts\, innovators\, and enthusiasts in the field of photonics and extended reality (XR) technologies.  \n\n\n\nPhotonics plays an indispensable role in shaping the landscape of XR technologies\, from enabling immersive experiences to making product lighter and more efficient.  \n\n\n\nThis event promises to be an informative and inspiring event that will shed light on the critical role of photonics in advancing XR technologies. Attendees can expect to gain valuable insights\, connect with industry leaders\, and explore the future possibilities of XR on a technology side. \n\n\n\n\nPhotonics Finland members interested in joining to this event will enjoy the same fee as EPIC-members thanks to the partnership between both associations. See more information from the Event website. \n\n\n\nThe event is structured into four engaging sessions\, each focusing on a specific aspect of photonics in XR: optical design and simulation fundamentals\, techniques\, and tools for optimizing XR optics; the role of photonics in creating realistic and immersive visual experiences\, while exploring the advancements in display technologies; examine and discuss the new challenges for the integration of photonics components into XR systems\, including topics like miniaturization\, power efficiency and performance optimization. We also will discuss the market adaptation and future trends\, to give an overview of potential applications in industries such as healthcare\, education\, gaming\, and more. \n\n\n\nAs a Technology Meeting\, this event is intentionally designed to bring together executives\, industry leaders\, engineers\, researchers\, and technical experts\, with a primary emphasis on fostering strategic partnerships\, collaboration\, and knowledge exchange in the realm of photonics and extended reality (XR) technologies. Unlike traditional commercial events\, this forum prioritizes high-level discussions and collaborative opportunities. \n\n\n\nThis meeting will be organized in combination with Optics & Photonics Days (OPD)\, organized after this meeting (28-30 May)\, which offers an extra opportunity to meet\, exchange knowledge\, and network with companies and experts in the field of photonics and optics\, but also to explore products and services at OPD Exhibition that is held during the conference. \n\n\n\nBenefit now of this very special “Photonics Week” in Finland by starting with the EPIC Technology Meeting on Photonics for XR\, and continue with OPD2024 – The annual main event for Optics and Photonics in Finland!  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\n27 May 2024\, Monday\n\n\n\nWelcoming words: \n\n\n\nKEYNOTE: Microsoft – Birgit Päivänranta\, Senior Director\, Mixed Reality (Finland) \n\n\n\n13:30 – 15:30 SESSION 1: XR Product and System Integration \n\n\n\n\nOptofidelity– Thomas Kerst\, Chief Metrology Officer (Finland)\n\n\n\nAddOptics–Integrated Prescription (Rx) for Waveguide Powered AR Devices –Frank Marsman\, Head of Business Development (The Netherlands)\n\n\n\nMagicLeap– Kristina Uhlendorf\, Optical Engineer (Germany)\n\n\n\nVarjo– Evgeny Shirko\, Head of Optics (Finland)\n\n\n\nEulitha –Displacement Talbot Lithography: A High-throughput\, High-fidelity Optical Lithography Solution for Manufacturing AR Waveguides – Kelsey Wooley\, Director for Marketing and North American Operations (United States)\n\n\n\n\n15:30 – 16:15 Networking coffee break \n\n\n\n16:15 – 18:15 SESSION 2: Photonics Components in XR Technology \n\n\n\n\nTrioptics–Prescription Lens Measurement (AR/VR)– Philipp Beer\, R&D Engineer (Germany)\n\n\n\nTriLite Technologies–Enabling Industry-leading Customers to Build High-volume Consumer AR Devices with Outstanding User Experience– Jörg Reitterer\, CTO (Austria)\n\n\n\nFraunhofer FEP– Uwe Vogel\, Head of Division Microdisplays and Sensors (Germany)\n\n\n\nPorotech– Tongtong Zhu\, CEO & Founder (United Kingdom)\n\n\n\nSCHOTT–Scaling Reflective Waveguide Production– John Edward Freiermuth\, Director of Business Development Augmented Reality (Switzerland)\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n28 May 2024\, Tuesday\n\n\n\n08:45 – 10:30 SESSION 3: Optical design & simulation for XR \n\n\n\n\nKEYNOTE: LightTrans– Stefan Steiner\, CTO (Germany)\n\n\n\nPandao– Oliver Faehnle\, Co-Founder (Switzerland)\n\n\n\nDispelix– Ismo Vartiainen\, CTO (Finland)\n\n\n\nIMEC–Empowering Innovation with Novel Designs and New Materials– Bruno Figeys\, Principal Member of Technical Staff (Belgium)\n\n\n\nJabil Optics– TBA.\n\n\n\n\n10:30 – 11:15 Networking coffee break \n\n\n\n11:15 – 12:45 SESSION 4: Market Requirements & Content Providers in the XR Space \n\n\n\n\nKEYNOTE: STMicroelectronics– Bharath Rajagopalan\, Director of Strategic Marketing\n\n\n\nYOLE group– Raphael Mermet-Lyaudoz\, Technology and Market Analyst (France)\n\n\n\nHensoldt– Tobias Sorg\, Innovation Manager (Germany)\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n18:30 – 21.00 – Networking reception with OPD participants at Helsinki City Hall

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.
