Descripción del proyecto
Alcyon Photonics, founded in 2018 as a spin-off of the National Research Council in Spain, provides high performance components to foster a new generation of smarter photonic circuits and devices for use in application areas like communications, sensing, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, the Internet of Things (IoT) and quantum computing.
The SPHUN project will develop a digital platform with the objective to enrich and validate an extended library of innovative photonic building blocks based on novel metamaterials based on sub-wavelength structures, enabling designers of new photonic devices to streamline their design of advanced photonic integrated circuits (PICs). The library will offer a diverse range of functionalities with improved performance, versatility, robustness and lower costs than alternatives in the market today, all in a simple format and compatible with semiconductor foundries’ traditional electronics fabrication methods.
