Kicking off the Horizon Europe🇪🇺 PHORMIC project today at Photonics UGent in Ghent. Looking forward to build the next-gen silicon photonics with KTH Royal Institute of Technology Tyndall Institute AMSPT, III-Vlabs, NVIDIA VLC Photonics SENTEA X-FAB Karriere imec

A fine example of the H2020 MORPHIC technology on which The PHORMIC Project will be building in the coming years. Congratulations Hamed Sattari !

The The PHORMIC Project project and its partners wish all of you a Phormidable and Phantastic (in other words, a Phormic) end of 2022 and an even better 2023.

Tomorrow, Wim Bogaerts of Photonics UGent will talk about the scaling of Programmable Photonics at SPIE Photonics West | #PhotonicsWest , covering the work done on H2020 MORPHIC on MEMS actuators, packaging electronics and software.

Come see the presentation of Umar Khan from Photonics UGent at SPIE Photonics West | #PhotonicsWest on low-power silicon photonic phase shifters using MEMS devices and liquid crystals. 11:35 - 1 February - Room 313 - H2020 MORPHIC The PHORMIC Project European Research Council (ERC) imec Niels Quack KTH Royal Institute of Technology

From MEMS to Liquid Crystals in Silicon photonics. Umar Khan of Photonics UGent shows how we plug in new low-power phase shifters in the standard platform of imec . Nice results from the project H2020 MORPHIC and European Research Council (ERC) PhotonicsSWARM. Niels Quack KTH Royal Institute of Technology

Pierre Edinger from KTH Royal Institute of Technology just published an impressive MEMS-controlled silicon photonic ring resonator filter in Optics Express. A beautiful demonstration of what the H2020 MORPHIC technology can enable with low-power actuators. imec Niels Quack Photonics UGent

The work in H2020 MORPHIC (our venerable "ancestor" project) is featured in Laser Focus World, on the occasion of the overview paper by Niels Quack in Microsystems & NanoEngineering. imec @epfl_en KTH Royal Institute of Technology Tyndall Institute Photonics UGent laserfocusworld.com/optics/article…

Padraic Morrissey from Tyndall Institute is showing the H2020 MORPHIC and The PHORMIC Project work on advanced interposers for complex silicon photonics at the ePIXfab silicon photonics school hosted by Photonics UGent

Today, the European projects The PHORMIC Project and NEUROPIC got together at Tyndall Institute in Cork to discuss synergies in research, covering programmable and neuromorphic photonics, photonic MEMS, phononics, light source integration and the scaling of optical and electrical IOs.

We had a very exciting (but slightly soggy) meeting with the The PHORMIC Project consortium in Cork. Thank to Tyndall Institute for being such great hosts.

Wakey wakey! I will be presenting our progress in Programmable Photonics at SPIE Photonics West | #PhotonicsWest on Thursday 8:00AM. Yes, you will need to get up early, but I will really try to make it worthwhile. Photonics UGent imec H2020 MORPHIC The PHORMIC Project KTH Royal Institute of Technology Tyndall Institute

The integration of silicon photonics, MEMS an integrated lasers makes the The PHORMIC Project platform ideal for such large-scale reconfigurable photonic circuits.

The PHORMIC project is building the next generation of programmable silicon photonic chips, enhanced by low-power MEMS and transfer-printed light sources. Read the article by Wim Bogaerts of Photonics UGent in opnmagazine . optica-opn.org/home/articles/…

PHORMIC is proudly co-organizing the ePIXfab workshop on Heterogeneous Integration on 23-24 April in Paris-Saclay, hosted by Thales. Join us to learn more about the integration of low-power MEMS and transfer-printed lasers on IMEC's silicon photonics. epixfab.eu/trainings/upco…

PHORMIC is proud to co-organize the ePIXfab workshop on Heterogeneous integration today and tomorrow in Palaiseau near Paris. Our work is as heterogeneous as it gets, integrating MEMS and light sources on silicon photonics, presented by Kristinn Gylfason and Gunther Roelkens.

Joan Ramirez of III-V labs is explaining the intricacies of III-V device design and processing to make them suitable for different heterogeneous integration techniques. Essential insights for the audience at the heterogeneous integration workshop of ePIXfab

Last week, the PHORMIC project had a wonderful consortium meeting hosted by III-V lab in Palaiseau. Apart from the stimulating interactions and technical discussions, we went down into the city of photons for a wonderful dinner on the Seine.
