*Now available on demand* The purpose of the EPIC Webinar on Quantum technologies is to demonstrate how companies are developing products based on the demands of the quantum community, and to enable a debate on the needs of new photonics products for the quantum market
For driverless cars to see mainstream adoption, engineers must solve critical lidar design challenges including improving the detection range and field of view, ensuring adaptability to environmental factors, and ensuring safety. Today, engineering teams are debating the best design choices, with no clear winner. Who will win the race toward effective lidar manufactured at a low cost?
In this webinar, high-level representatives of the Pilot Lines will give an overview of the European scene regarding technologies, offers and capabilities for the manufacturing of new photonics-based products that will impact in market sectors such as medical, environmental and industrial.
This webinar will show how the nonstop capacity request in the transmission, routing and processing of huge amounts of communication data is faced in an effective way by photonic solutions acting on the propagation, modulation and multiplexing of optical signals
In the high power laser based manufacturing world, beam shaping has been identified as one of the past and present technology bottlenecks. This webinar will compare the unmet needs from industry with the current state of the art and market driven roadmaps
This webinar is oriented to end-user companies, SMEs and startup companies that are thinking about developing a chemical sensor, but also to engineers and students that want to know more about the possibilities of Mid-IR technologies
LIDAR has already proven its accuracy and reliability, but there exist other aspects that still need to be developed, and even decided. The purpose of this webinar is to identify the technology bottlenecks as a discussion of TIER-1 suppliers and photonics technology developers
Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) are impacting the biomedical field by providing fast, reliable and cost-effective diagnostic devices.
The webinar, organised by MIRPHAB, presents the working principles, applications and existing capabilities of MIR chemical sensors in Europe, featuring Adam Piotrowski (VIGO Systems), Ana Gonzalez (EPIC/MIRPHAB) and Fabio Pavanell (Ugent/IMEC).
