Photonics Cluster

Ten European silicon photonics research teams have formed the European Silicon Photonics Cluster, aimed at speeding the transfer of knowledge and technology to the European electronics industry. The teams will coordinate efforts to raise awareness of the potential of silicon photonics among chip foundries, end users and startups; disseminate the results of their projects broadly; and train young scientists, engineers and researchers in the field. They also will submit articles to industry publications, organize a silicon photonics workshop in 2011 and cooperate on training programs.
