SUMMARY:Workshop „Photonic Integrated Circuits | Mapping Thin-Film Processes to Industrial Architectures“
DESCRIPTION:Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) are a key enabling technology for modern photonic systems and are used in a wide range of applications\, including optical communication\, data centers\, sensing\, medical technology\, quantum technologies\, and autonomous driving/systems. A central factor for their performance and scalability is the precise design\, fabrication\, and integration of thin‑film processes into industrial PIC architectures. \nThe workshop provides an overview of current developments and challenges along the entire process chain – from thin‑film materials and deposition technologies to their scale‑up and industrialization on photonic platforms relevant for manufacturing environments. Key topics include process integration\, scalability\, robustness\, and manufacturability of photonic integrated circuits\, as well as cross‑cutting aspects related to their implementation in industrial contexts. Both technological fundamentals and selected practical perspectives on industrial realization will be addressed\, with the aim of fostering exchange between research and industry and stimulating new solution approaches. \nThe event is aimed at experts from research\, development\, and industry who are working with photonic integrated circuits\, thin‑film technologies\, and photonic system integration\, as well as those planning to engage in this field in the future. \nThe programme is continuously being updated. You will always find the latest version here.

SUMMARY:EFDS Webinar: ‘Space2Motion meets Thin-Film Technology’
DESCRIPTION:The workshop focuses on innovative coating and thin-film technologies specifically developed and used for applications in the aerospace industry. The topics covered include functional coatings for extreme operating conditions\, such as thermal barriers\, corrosion protection systems and erosion-resistant coatings for engine components and external structures. Another key focus is on thin-film technologies for sensor technology and electronics\, in particular the integration of micro- and nanosensors into modern aircraft systems and satellite platforms. \nIn addition\, plasma and PVD processes in the aerospace sector will be presented\, with a focus on process optimisation\, scalability and quality assurance. The programme will be complemented by presentations on material characterisation and service life analysis\, such as the evaluation of coating adhesion\, microstructure and long-term behaviour under real-world operating conditions. Aspects of sustainability and resource efficiency will also be addressed – for example\, through the development of environmentally friendly coating processes and recyclable coating systems. \nKeynote speeches by \n\nDr.-Ing. Asim Mirza | boltzplatz – numerical plasma dynamics GmbH\nVanja Sebastian Zander | DLR German Aerospace Center\nPeter Becker M.Sc. | EurA AG\, Niederlassung Aachen\nBarbara Putz | Empa Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology\nKlaus Boebel | Oerlikon Surface Solutions AG\, Pfäffikon (LI)\n\n\nThe program is currently being prepared and will be posted here shortly! \nThe two-day webinar will take place on both days from 9.00 am to 11.00 am.\nPlease note that the event will be held in German!
