The mood in the Dutch and the European integrated photonics scene has been changing. After years of confidently touting a technological lead, these days figureheads issue words of warning: if we don’t act soon, the US and China may run off with the loot. Twan Korthorst, along with many partners, is taking a step forward: "I’m convinced silicon nitride is a great niche catering to a unique set of applications. Or rather: a niche of a niche, because we really need to start talking about integrated photonics as a part of the semiconductor industry. Integrated photonics and electronics are natural allies rather than competitors, after all.” Read this in-depth interview with Twan Korthorst: https://lnkd.in/e6UtuWN4 #integratedphotonics #photonics #neworigin
