2. Contact:Christian Bosshard – CSEMcbs@csem.ch Status Report - I Platform / Roadmap / Flagship Title:Photonic Sensing and Integration Platform Short Description: Photonics is accepted as a EU key enabling technology with components, sensor and systems providing a large potential for the European photonics market. This platform targets solutions for well known complex challenges: • to address all aspects from the device to the architecture • to include the design for assembly • to accommodate different types of devices (light sources, detectors, modulators,…) • to take care of a variety of materials (Si (CMOS), III-V semincoductors (lasers), glass,…) • to take into account the trade-offs in terms of costs, complexity and performance, e.g. optical SiP versus optical SoC.

4. Contact:Christian Bosshard – CSEMcbs@csem.ch Status Report - III Platform / Roadmap / Flagship Title:Photonic Sensing and Integration Platform Vision, Mission, Strategy: Provide opportunities and solutions for the European photonics market including • the development of robust, reliable and low cost processes designed for devices/sensors and complete photonic systems • precision robot systems for automation, • manufacturing capabilities through the build up an extension of an infrastructure for process development and pilot and small series. Key devices such as Silicon MEMS and high-brightness light sources will be combined with 3D integration technologies to allow flexible manufacturing.

5. Contact:Christian Bosshard – CSEMcbs@csem.ch Status Report - IVa Platform / Roadmap / Flagship Title:Photonic Sensing and Integration Platform Recent Activities (white papers, joint projects, joint PR, …) As a first step, the relevant techologies available within the HTA were categorized: • Light sources (lasers, LEDs, OLEDs,…) • Light processing (fibers, waveguides (Silicon, glass, poylmers), micro-(opto)-electromechanical systems (MOEMS),…) • Light filtering (wavelength filters, polarization filters) • Light detection (CMOS, wavelength range from UV to IR) • Assembly & integration (covering all aspects from flip chip bonding to microoptic and fiber assembly (active alignment), 3D integration, hermetic sealing, thermal management, Silicon photonics, automated assembly solutions, characterization and reliability testing) • The next layer: (sub)systems (optical sensing/diagnostics, spectrometers, atomic clocks,…)

6. Contact:Christian Bosshard – CSEMcbs@csem.ch Status Report - IVb Platform / Roadmap / Flagship Title:Photonic Sensing and Integration Platform Recent Activities (white papers, joint projects, joint PR, …) • Successful presentation of the HTA photonic sensing and integration platform at the 8th ESA Round Table on Micro and Nano Technologies for Space Applications. • Data sheets of technologies and devices for internal use are in preparation. Based on these data sheets a simplified version with less details that will be available on the HTA website will be compiled later. • A workshop with the aim to prepare EU proposals for the last FP7 call was carried out: The list of topics were: • Si photonics and polymer waveguides • MEMS/MOEMS • Assembly & Integration • Lasers for industrial processing • Solid state lighting • Atomic clocks

7. Contact:Christian Bosshard – CSEMcbs@csem.ch Status Report - IVc Platform / Roadmap / Flagship Title:Photonic Sensing and Integration Platform Recent Activities (white papers, joint projects, joint PR, …) Two successful projects: • ACTION: ACTive Implant for Optoacoustic Natural sound enhancement: CSEM (Christian Bosshard), VTT (Inger Vikholm-Lundin) • Large Area Solid State Intelligent Efficient luminaires: CSEM (Rolando Ferrini), FhG (IIS (Norbert Weber) + IISB (Andreas Erdmann)), VTT (Kimmo Keränen)(from brokerage event) Submitted, but not funded: • QIPC: Quantum Integrated Photonic Circuits: CSEM (Gilles Buchs), IAF (Christoph Nebel), CEA (Eva Monroy) • Remark: Project AGEN (Atomic Gyroscope for Enhanced Navigation) with CEA was accepted

8. Contact:Christian Bosshard – CSEMcbs@csem.ch Status Report - IV Platform / Roadmap / Flagship Title:Photonic Sensing and Integration Platform Next steps: • Brokerage event (for H2020) focused on the platform • Data sheets • Web page • A workshop with industry to present the capabilities (will be organized at a later stage)
