Photonic Components: Strategic Objective 2.5.1 Ronan Burgess European Commission

1. Information Society Technologies - IST Photonic Components: Strategic Objective 2.5.1 Ronan Burgess European Commission Directorate General Information Society and Media - Nanoelectronics and Photonics -

2. Definition Photonics is the science of generating and harnessing light. It encompasses light sources, light detectors, and light manipulation (through guidance and , amplification, …) and its use for a wide range of applications. R.Burgess

3. Photonics: Application Areas Long-Haul Metropolitan Home access Photonics in communications: expanding and scaling Board -> Inter-Chip -> Intra-Chip Photonics: diffusing into other application sectors Health(“bio-photonics”) Environment sensing Security imaging

4. To develop advanced materials, solid-state sources and micro- and nano-scale photonic devices, and to integrate photonic functions in micro/nanoelectronics components ('Photonic system on a chip'). Projects are expected to address research challenges for mid-term to long-term industrial exploitation in one or more of the following application contexts: "Information technologies for health care and life science": bio-photonic functional components and sub-assemblies; "Communications and Infotainment": components and subsystems for low-cost or high-performance; " Environment and Security ": photonic sensors, fiber sensors, imaging components.
