Workshop on Photonic Integration and Packaging 2025
Swiss PIC, the Swiss Photonics Integration Center and Swissphotonics organize a workshop on Photonics Integration and Packaging
Vision: Address the challenges for Swiss industry in photonics integration and packaging, especially start-ups and SMEs, and support the photonics industry in this area to realize its enormous growth potential.
Rationale: As demand for photonic systems continues to grow across a wide range of current and emerging markets—including optical communications, sensing, quantum computing, autonomous driving, artificial intelligence, augmented and virtual reality, and medical applications—the complexity of photonic packaging is also increasing. Swiss industry, particularly start-ups and SMEs, commonly face challenges in assembly and packaging, testing, and qualification. This workshop aims to address these issues and provides a valuable forum for discussion among professionals, fostering the development of innovative solutions.
Labtour
As a central hub for the integration of photonic components and systems, Swiss PIC offers the local and European photonics community high-quality consulting and specialized services through to series production. A tour of Swiss PIC's new Packaging Fab is part of the workshop.
