Knowledge of state of the art technologies of electronic-photonic integration and their current and potential future applications.

After an introduction, the fundamentals of electronic integration will be recapitulated. Additionally, we will discuss the fundamentals of photonic integration, including passive (e.g. waveguides) and active components (e.g. micro-ring resonators, modulators, …). After that, we will talk about the integration of photonic ICs with electronic ICs. Additionally there is a strong focus on possible actual and future applications, such as systems for optical networks, classical detectors and quantum sensing, quantum cryptography, optical quantum simulators, and key components for optical quantum computers).
