Open access to technology platforms for InP-based photonic integrated circuits

• Katarzyna Ławniczuk

  Katarzyna Ławniczuk was awarded a joint PhD degree from Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands, and Warsaw University of Technology, Poland, in 2014. Her research focused on indium phosphide-based multiwavelength lasers and photonic integrated transmitters for application in optical access networks and fast interconnects. During the PhD studies, she was awarded for her work at international conferences, and in 2012, she received the Dutch Netelcom Award for the most innovative scientific contribution of a PhD student to the field of communication technology. Katarzyna has been the coordinator of JePPIX at the Photonic Integration Group at Eindhoven University of Technology since 2013.

  , Luc M. Augustin

  Luc Augustin received the MSc and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering from Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands. Luc has worked in the industry at Cedova, Philips Photonics Lab, stepped to the Photovoltaics industry and went to Solland Solar. Currently, he is working at SMART Photonics as CTO and partly at Eindhoven University as project manager. His expertise is in simulation and design of InP-based photonic integrated circuits, fabrication of III–V photonics components and integrated circuits and characterization of semiconductor-based photonic components.

  , Norbert Grote

  Norbert Grote earned the Diploma and PhD degree in Physics from Aachen Technical University, Germany, in 1974 and 1977, respectively. In 1981, he joined the Heinrich-Hertz Institut für Nachrichtentechnik GmbH to help build up the newly established Integrated Optics Department, which later became the Photonics Components Department when the HHI became a member of the Fraunhofer Society in 2003. Since then, he is the Deputy head of the Photonic Components Department at Fraunhofer HHI. He is supervising different R&D groups focusing on InP materials technology, laser devices, and monolithic and hybrid integration technology, in the latter case using a PLC polymer platform. Over the years, he has extensively been involved in the initiation and coordination of photonics-related national R&D programs/projects in the public domain and of collaborative projects with companies. He has been engaged in several EU-funded projects, including MEPHISTO, EuroPIC, and PARADIGM projects. In 2011, he chaired the 22nd IPRM conference.

  , Michael J. Wale

  Michael Wale is the Director of Active Products Research at Oclaro, a major supplier of photonic components for the global optical communications market, based at Caswell, Northamptonshire, UK. Mike received his BA, MA, and DPhil degrees in Physics from the University of Oxford. Since moving into industry in the early 1980s, he has been involved in many different aspects of research, development, and manufacturing of photonic devices and systems, with particular emphasis on photonic-integrated circuit technology. Alongside his role at Oclaro, where he has responsibility for strategic technology activities, he is a Professor of Photonic Integration/Industrial Aspects at Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands, and an Honorary Professor at the University of Nottingham in the UK. Prof. Wale is a member of the Executive Board of the European Technology Platform, Photonics21, and chairman of its Working Group on Design and Manufacturing of Optical Components and Systems.

  , Meint K. Smit

  Meint K. Smit graduated in Electrical Engineering at the Delft University of Technology in 1974, and received his PhD in 1991, both with honors. In 1974, he started work on radar and radar remote sensing. He joined the Delft University of Technology in 1976. He switched to optical communications in 1981, research field: Integrated Optics. He became the leader of the Photonic Integrated Circuits group of the Delft University in 1994. He is the inventor of the Arrayed Waveguide Grating for which he received a LEOS Technical Achievement award in 1997. He was appointed as professor in 1998. In that year, his group, together with the groups of Prof. Wolter and Prof. Khoe (COBRA, TU Eindhoven), received a research grant of 40 M€ for establishing a National Research Center on Photonics. In 2002, he moved with his group to the Technical University of Eindhoven, where he was a leader of the Opto-Electronic Devices group at the COBRA Research Institute until 2014. In 2002, he was appointed LEOS Fellow for contributions in the field of Opto-Electronic Integration.

  und Kevin A. Williams

  Kevin Williams graduated in Electronic Engineering from the University of Sheffield and received his Ph.D. from the School of Physics at the University of Bath in 1995. He subsequently moved to the University of Bristol where he was awarded a Royal Society university research fellowship to study high-speed and high-power semiconductor lasers. In 2001, he moved to the University of Cambridge where he was also appointed a Fellow and lecturer at Churchill College Cambridge. In 2006, Kevin moved to the Technical University Eindhoven to take up an EC Marie Curie Chair award. In 2011, he received a Vici award from the Dutch NWO to perform research into large-scale high-performance photonic integrated circuits. He is presently leading the Photonic Integration group at the COBRA Research Institute.
