PIC Bootcamp – Enthusiast - Hands-on introduction to PICs and their Functionality

This course is designed for those seeking technical insight into Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs), including how they can be integrated into existing systems or replace traditional approaches, and what considerations need to be taken into account.
This course is suitable for you if you are engaged with PICs in any capacity, whether you are an R&D engineer, an electronics engineer designing electronics to control PICs, a system integrator looking to replace bulk optics, a product designer aiming to use PICs to meet customer needs, or a team leader overseeing PIC engineers who wishes to understand how they operate, along with any others we may have overlooked here.

What will you gain?

• An understanding of where PICs can be deployed, their advantages and limitations.
• A high-level appreciation of PIC components and where they are beneficial.
• An intuitive feel for the operation of passive PIC circuitry through hands-on guided lesson plans
  

Planned Activities:

Informal lecture and hands-on lab with introductory concepts.  How does light travel in an optical waveguide, i/o, how can it be directed, how do we tune certain parameters, existing and emerging application areas, advantages & limitations of PICs
