Cross-Fertilization Workshop on High-Speed Optical Modulators
A two-day European research workshop bringing together leading projects in integrated photonics — from fabrication to application. 11–12 June 2026, Organized by ePIXfab, European research community
About the event
High-speed optical modulators are a key enabling technology in integrated photonics. This workshop explores the full technology chain — from fabrication and integration to characterization, packaging, and real-world applications — through the lens of several active EU-funded projects.
Two-day technical programme covers
01 — Fabrication & process technology 02 — Photonic integration platforms 03 — Electro-optic characterization 04 — Packaging & assembly 05 — System-level applications
Feature talks
- Xin Guo, Application Engineer | 11:50–12:15 Talk 1: Heterogeneous integration of TFLN / TFLT on SiN and SOI
Device-level benefits of hybrid SiN + LN integration — exploring how thin-film lithium niobate and lithium tantalate combine with silicon nitride and silicon-on-insulator platforms to unlock new performance frontiers.
- Forrest Valdez, Design Engineer | 16:20–16:45 Talk 2: High-bandwidth and ring-assisted modulators using a TFLN / TFLT on SiN platform
An in-depth discussion of ring-assisted Mach-Zehnder modulators (RAMZM) — covering design principles, bandwidth enhancement strategies, and practical implementation on thin-film platforms.
Co-organized by EU-funded projects PHORMIC · photonixFAB · PATTERN · STARLight EU · SPRINTER · LOLIPOP · DYNAMOS. Gain cross-project insights from seven diverse EU initiatives — a unique opportunity to connect with the best minds in photonic integrated circuits.
