Photonic integrated technology as an enabler platform for scalable quantum systems.
Integrated photonic technology is the backbone of our internet and global networking. It also penetrates more innovative application domains such as quantum computing, sensing, and healthcare, where scalability, cost, and performance are the critical parameters. At imec, we have developed two photonic platforms to answer these emerging application domains: Si photonics and SiN photonics. We are running these platforms as a product in CMOS-line, where state-of-the-art infrastructures are used for manufacturing on 200 & 300 mm wafers with the capability to run the volume.
