🎥 Check out the @ProjectPICaboo video presentation! 🎥 👉 Whether you're an industry expert 👩‍🔬 or just curious 🤔 about the future of #photonic integration, take a look at our #video #presentation! 🔗 ict-picaboo.eu/videos/ @Photonics21 #PICabooProject #Photonics #Research #Miniaturization #IntegratedPhotonics

📄The @ProjectPICaboo paper "Miniaturization of 2 × 4 90-Degree Hybrid Optical Couplers," explores the limits of miniaturizing a 90-degree hybrid coupler for balanced detection in the L, C, and S bands. We dive into how performance is affected by miniaturization and establish the smallest possible device dimensions without significant degradation. 👉Read the #publication for a closer look at our findings, including our fabrication tolerance analysis and insights on scaling across multiple platforms. 🔗ict-picaboo.eu/publications/ @Photonics21 #PICabooProject #Photonics #Research #Miniaturization #IntegratedPhotonics
