The photonic integration allows for the creation of application-specific photonic system-on-chip (SoC) for a wide range of applications. The realization of a custom photonic SoC requires familiarity with the PIC-based product creation chain. Decisions and choices made in early-stage planning and at the design phase are critical to the successful development of a product manufacturable at scale.

This 1-day long intensive course is a hands-on development program and built with experienced professionals. Instructions for DfX (test, production, manufacture) in photonics, test automation methods, and participant-specific projects will be given. On the completion the adepts will gain awareness of risk management methods in route to manufacturability, will be able to build a TRL-gated development plan with commercial suppliers. These will enable the development of custom PIC-based products that can be scaled at own businesses or via available pilot-line services such as JePPIX Pilot Line and PIXAPP.
