\"\"<\/p>\n

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\u2011film processes into industrial PIC architectures. <\/p>\n

The workshop provides an overview of current developments and challenges along the entire process chain \u2013 from thin\u2011film materials and deposition technologies to their scale\u2011up 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\u2011cutting 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. <\/p>\n

The event is aimed at experts from research, development, and industry who are working with photonic integrated circuits, thin\u2011film technologies, and photonic system integration, as well as those planning to engage in this field in the future.<\/p>\n
