Trainings and Workshops

#1 session of our series »PHOTONIC GLASS CORE SUBSTRATES«; Speaker: Dr. Wojciech Lewoczko-Adamczyk // This expert session summarizes the fundamentals and applications of photonic wire bonding and explains how they can simplify optical integration. It provides insights into the various aspects of photonic wire bonds, including their operating principle, manufacturing, challenges, and potential applications in photonics, e.g., LIDAR, quantum technology.

Glass is emerging as the substrate material of the future, also since it has ideal properties for integrating optical waveguides. Optical signal transmission helps tackle future challenges with respect to energy consumption, latency problems or heat dissipation. Fraunhofer IZM is researching industry-oriented solutions to these aspects and will present some of them in this expert session series.

#2 session of our series »PHOTONIC GLASS CORE SUBSTRATES«, Speaker: Dr. Gunnar Böttger // Using glass optical interposers, benches, and even fully packaged systems-in-packages SiP enables new ways in assembly: visual and even passive alignment. The properties of glass in particular offer a wide range of advantages in technological implementation.

#3 session of our series »PHOTONIC GLASS CORE SUBSTRATES«, speaker: Julian Schwietering // When glass is used as substrate material optical waveguides can be directly integrated. These optical waveguides represent the solution to future challenges, such as increasing energy consumption due to increasing data volumes, the corresponding increasing need to dissipate heat, and the demand for ever-longer signal paths.
