Lithium NiObate empowered siLIcon nitride Platform for fragmentation free OPeration in the visible and the NIR [September 2022 – February 2026] PCRL coordinates the LOLIPOP Project. Despite the huge progress by photonics, extended spectral bands at wavelengths below 1100 nm remain heavily underserved in terms of integration solutions. At the same time, the silicon nitride…
Affordable Quantum Communication for Everyone: Revolutionizing the Quantum Ecosystem from Fabrication to Application [October 2018 – June 2022] PCRL participated in UNIQORN project. Quantum communication was recognised as one of the pillars for the second quantum revolution thanks to its unique potential for information-theoretical data security. Turning this promise into tangible assets depends however, on…
Low-coSt and energy-efficient hybrid Photonic integrated circuits for fibeR-optic, free-space optIcal and mmWave commuNication systems supporting Time critical networking in industrial EnviRonments [September 2022 – February 2026] PCRL coordinates the SPRINTER Project. SPRINTER will provide a set of low-cost, energy-efficient, and ultra-dynamic optical transceivers and an optical switching solution to cope with the diverse needs…
5G integrated Fiber-Wireless networks exploiting existing photonic technologies for high-density SDN-programmable network architectures [September 2017-August 2021] PCRL participated in 5G-PHOS project. 5G-PHOS aimed to architect and evaluate 5G broadband wireless networks for dense, ultra-dense and Hot-Spot area use cases drawing from recent results in the area of optical technologies towards producing and exploiting a powerful…
We are excited to share our participation in SPIE Photonics West with a paper presentation entitled “Development of 3D-printed micro-lenses at the edge of waveguides of flow cytometry and optical coherence tomography photonic integrated circuits” by Adamantia Maria Grammatikaki. Flow Cytometry (FCM) plays a crucial role in healthcare by enabling precise analysis of cell populations, aiding in the diagnosis and…
The ERIGrid 2.0 Project held its 7th General Assembly from November 20th to 21st, 2023, in Kassel at Fraunhofer IEE. The successful meeting at the new campus was complemented by a guided tour through the new lab infrastructure. We would like to thank Fraunhofer IEE for your hospitality – it was a great meeting with…
The Quantum Flagship: One of the most ambitious long-term research and innovation initiatives of the European Commission. The Quantum Flagship is a large-scale initiative funded at the 1b € level on a 10-year timescale. It consists in a coherent set of research and innovation projects selected through a thorough peer-review process. Calls for projects are…
