China International Optoelectronic Expo (CIOE) ePIXfab
The forum will provide updates on the recent trends, current state-of-the-art, and upcoming developments in silicon photonics technologies. Silicon photonics is a high-index contrast photonic IC technology that leverages the CMOS processing toolsets for the manufacturing of complex photonic functions on highly miniaturized chips at low cost irrespective of the manufacturing volume.
Designed to build a bridge between Europe and China, the forum provides a platform for research and technology exchange as well as commercial partnerships, fostering in-depth collaboration in silicon photonics innovation.
