WHY THE PITC IS SO IMPORTANT AS EXPLAINED IN JAPAN. I often bump into my good friend and colleague Sylwester Latkowski, the CTO of Optica corporate member PITC - Photonic Integration Technology Center based in the Netherlands. A week ago, as part of the Brabant Innovation Day summit in Tokyo Japan, Sylwester gave an excellent briefing to a packed audience of Japanese high-tech corporates. His concise presentation of the challenges and opportunities ahead deserves a much wider audience. The video has just been made public, and if you are curious as to why the PITC is so important for the test and reliability for integrated photonics in high volume manufacturing, then I recommend you spend the 20 minutes watching it. They are also looking for partners. The Dutch Province of North Brabant (Provincie Noord-Brabant ) gets the credit for organising the event at the Okura Hotel in Tokyo. https://lnkd.in/dbevuvhb
Integrated photonics holds significant promise for addressing societal challenges, such as energy-efficient optical and wireless communication networks, advanced health monitoring, AI loaded data-center infrastructure by integrating light technology with traditional electronics. However, its widespread adoption is hindered by lengthy product development cycles and limited production throughput. To tackle these issues, especially in an age of rapid AI development, the Photonic Integration Technology Center (PITC) has launched four technology program lines to accelerate scale-up and industrial adoption of photonics. The PITC Metrology program focuses on developing next-generation test and measurement technologies. By increasing the accuracy, speed, and scalability of testing processes in both chip design and manufacture, the Metrology program seeks to increase testing throughput by a factor of ten, thereby enabling faster and more reliable production of photonic chips in high-volume manufacturing (HVM), at desired yields.
