The PHORMIC Project

Last week, the PHORMIC project had a wonderful consortium meeting hosted by III-V lab in Palaiseau. Apart from the stimulating interactions and technical discussions, we went down into the city of photons for a wonderful dinner on the Seine.

Joan Ramirez of III-V labs is explaining the intricacies of III-V device design and processing to make them suitable for different heterogeneous integration techniques. Essential insights for the audience at the heterogeneous integration workshop of @epixfab

@groelken of @PhotonicsUGent explains how transfer printed optical amplifiers can be integrated onto the @imec_int iSiPP50g silicon photonics platform. This is a key pillar of the @Phormic_EU technology for next-generation photonic chips. Live from the @epixfab workshop.

@kristgy of @KTHuniversity shows the strengths of silicon photonic MEMS of @H2020_Morphic and @Phormic_EU at the @epixfab heterogeneous integration workshop. The low power consumption and compact footprint makes this a uniquely capable platform.

PHORMIC is proud to co-organize the @epixfab workshop on Heterogeneous integration today and tomorrow in Palaiseau near Paris. Our work is as heterogeneous as it gets, integrating MEMS and light sources on silicon photonics, presented by Kristinn Gylfason and Gunther Roelkens.

PHORMIC is proudly co-organizing the @epixfab workshop on Heterogeneous Integration on 23-24 April in Paris-Saclay, hosted by Thales. Join us to learn more about the integration of low-power MEMS and transfer-printed lasers on IMEC's silicon photonics. epixfab.eu/trainings/upco…

The PHORMIC project is building the next generation of programmable silicon photonic chips, enhanced by low-power MEMS and transfer-printed light sources. Read the article by @WimBogaerts of @PhotonicsUGent in @OPNmagazine . optica-opn.org/home/articles/…

The integration of silicon photonics, MEMS an integrated lasers makes the @Phormic_EU platform ideal for such large-scale reconfigurable photonic circuits.

Wakey wakey! I will be presenting our progress in Programmable Photonics at @PhotonicsWest on Thursday 8:00AM. Yes, you will need to get up early, but I will really try to make it worthwhile. @PhotonicsUGent @imec_int @H2020_Morphic @Phormic_EU @KTHuniversity @TyndallInstitut

We wish everyone a PHORMIdastiC 2024. We look forward to a year of exciting research in photonic chips. youtu.be/27hWPRYWvWM

@WimBogaerts of @PhotonicsUGent presents the work of the PHORMIC and @H2020_Morphic projects on large-scale programmable photonics at #OpticaBICOP23 in London. How can programmable photonic chips boost the use of micro-scale light in a diverse range of applications.

We had a very exciting (but slightly soggy) meeting with the @Phormic_EU consortium in Cork. Thank to @TyndallInstitut for being such great hosts.

Today, the European projects @Phormic_EU and NEUROPIC got together at @TyndallInstitut in Cork to discuss synergies in research, covering programmable and neuromorphic photonics, photonic MEMS, phononics, light source integration and the scaling of optical and electrical IOs.

Padraic Morrissey from @TyndallInstitut is showing the @H2020_Morphic and @Phormic_EU work on advanced interposers for complex silicon photonics at the @epixfab silicon photonics school hosted by @PhotonicsUGent

@WimBogaerts of @PhotonicsUGent describes the future of programmable photonics in @PhotonicsMedia . The @Phormic_EU technology can play a key role in this future, with its low-power MEMS actuators and on-chip gain. photonics.com/Articles/Progr…

The work in @H2020_Morphic (our venerable "ancestor" project) is featured in Laser Focus World, on the occasion of the overview paper by @NielsQuack in Microsystems & NanoEngineering. @imec_int @epfl_en @KTHuniversity @TyndallInstitut @PhotonicsUGent laserfocusworld.com/optics/article…

@NielsQuack composed a very good overview of the Silicon Photonics MEMS devices made by @H2020_Morphic . This is the technology on which we are building in the @Phormic_EU project.

@PierreEdinger from @KTHuniversity just published an impressive MEMS-controlled silicon photonic ring resonator filter in Optics Express. A beautiful demonstration of what the @H2020_Morphic technology can enable with low-power actuators. @imec_int @QLAB_EPFL @PhotonicsUGent

From MEMS to Liquid Crystals in Silicon photonics. @UmarKhan7070 of @PhotonicsUGent shows how we plug in new low-power phase shifters in the standard platform of @imec_int . Nice results from the project @H2020_Morphic and @ERC_Research PhotonicsSWARM. @QLAB_EPFL @KTHuniversity
