Photonic Integrated Circuit Modules Based on Silicon Nitride Waveguides

Silicon nitride integrated photonic chips are at the heart of developments in diagnostic testing, wireless communications and medical imaging. By integrating functions into solid state chips, we offer improvements in processing speed, information density, operational performance, flexibility and cost. In this presentation we give an overview of the benefits of photonic integration and highlight the specific value of silicon nitride as a waveguide material for a broad range of applications.

 

Speaker

Tom Horner, Science Communication Professional, LioniX International

Tom Horner works across application areas in the sales and marketing team. He is responsible for highlighting the value that integrated photonics brings in key applications fields including communications, metrology, biosensing, medical imaging and AR/VR. With a background in physics, Tom has worked in communications in academic, commercial and charity roles to promote the value of science and engineering to different groups of users. As a recent convert to integrated photonics, he has been distilling the answers to key questions like “Why integrated photonics?” and “Why silicon nitride” taking a deep dive into the technological and application centric sides of LioniX International’s offering.
