Fotonica 2015 - Symposium
Si Photonics as enabling technology for
large scale applications
Chairman:
Marco Romagnoli, Consorzio Nazionale Interuniversitario per le Telecomunicazioni,
Pisa, Italy
Scope
Photonic integration has reached a readiness level that allows commercial exploitation. In particular
Si Photonics, that may be considered as complementary to microelectronics, it is also the technology
for large scale manufacturing. Presently Si Photonics has been mainly developed for Datacom and
Telecom application, however Si Photonics shows a great potential for other spectral regions of
interest for different application fields.
The Symposium has the scope to present the state of the art of Si Photonics, new material
integration, as for instance graphene, and the possible extensions to various application fields as
sensors and biophotonics.
