Leti to Host Workshop on New Photonics Applications During SPIE Photonics West

GRENOBLE, France – Jan. 25, 2016 – Leti will host a workshop from 4-6 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 16, during SPIE Photonics West, focusing on some of its recent developments in photonics applications. Leti researchers also will present four invited papers, 14 overall, during the Feb. 13-18 conference in San Francisco’s Moscone Center.

The workshop for invited guests at the St. Regis Hotel in San Francisco will feature a keynote presentation on “Photonic nanoprobes for massively parallel interrogation of brain activity”, by Michael Roukes, Robert M. Abbey Professor of Physics, Applied Physics, and Biological Engineering at Caltech. 

Other presenters and topics include:

Welcome & Introduction, Ludovic Poupinet, Leti

  • Miniaturized optical sensors for air-quality control and emissions monitoring, Sergio Nicoletti, Leti
  • Monolithic LED arrays for smart-lighting and display applications, Ivan-Christophe Robin, Leti
  • Strategic technology trends to meet pervasive-imaging challenges, François Simoens, Leti

Discussions, networking and cocktails will follow the presentations.

Topics of the invited papers at Photonics West are:

  • Challenges in the monolithic integration of quantum cascade laser on silicon
  • Recent advances in silicon photonics
  • Monolithic LED arrays: next-generation sources for smart lighting applications
  • Silicon photonic Mach Zehnder modulators for next-generation shortreach

optical communication networks

 

Leti researchers also will join partners to present 10 additional papers on topics such as data-communications, sensing and lighting.

Counted among the global research pioneers in silicon photonics, sensing and lighting as well as displays and imaging, Leti has developed a technology portfolio to address the increasing requirements for optical communication systems for automotive, advanced manufacturing, security, bio & health and smart building applications.

BMV080: World’s Smallest Particulate Matter (PM) Sensor
In this episode of Chalk Talk, Liaisan Khismatova from Bosch Sensortec and I explore the benefits of the Bosch BMV080, the world’s smallest particulate matter (PM) sensor. They also investigate the fanless innovation at the heart of the BMV080 Particulate Matter Sensor and how the silent and maintenance-free operation and ultra-compact size of this sensor makes it a game changer for next generation air quality monitoring applications.
