Introduction

Photonics is widely regarded as the key enabling technology of the 21st century. Its applications and use in many scientific and industrial fields are accelerated through Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs), which combine many optical components into a miniaturized chip format. Similar to electronic ICs, PICs are revolutionizing areas such as healthcare, communication, sensing, and have the potential to be disruptive to the whole society. We at TU/e are at the center of photonics, working across material science, device integration technologies, and systems and applications. The TU/e, together with TNO, University of Twente, and PhotonDelta created a Photonic Integration Technology Center (PITC). The PITC works in tight collaboration with industry, providing optimum development R&D pathways, maximizing the output, and enabling accelerated industrial adoption of photonic technologies.
