Accelerating Integrated Photonics

by bridging the gap between

research and application

Upgrading society
by upscaling Integrated Photonics

Photonics is set to revolutionise solutions for major societal challenges, from improving road safety and health monitoring to enhancing data security. However, persistent challenges in PIC chip design, testability, integration, and packaging stand in the way of large-scale manufacturing and adoption. The Photonic Integration Technology Centre (PITC) is committed to overcoming these hurdles and accelerate Integrated Photonics by bridging the gap between research and real-world applications.

Research Programmes

At PITC, we advance PIC chip design and manufacturability (InP and SiN Programmes), testability (Metrology Programme), and integration and packaging solutions (Heterogeneous Integration Programme). Join our Research Programmes for tailor-made solutions that take your photonics integration to the next level.

How we collaborate

At PITC, our partners benefit from tailored engagement models to accelerate progress in Integrated Photonics. Long-term strategic partnerships through our Shared Innovation Model help reduce innovation costs and time. And with our practical research services we address specific gaps in your R&D process.
