WORKSHOP on "Photonic devices and systems: up-to-date technologies, challenges, environment risks and reliability"

Moderators: Prof. Laurent Béchou (IMS Lab, University of Bordeaux, France – CNRS LN2 University of Sherbrooke, Canada), Dr Alain Bensoussan (IRT Saint Exupéry and Thales Alenia Space, Toulouse, France)

SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP

The scope of this workshop will focus on up-to-date technologies, main challenges, environment risks and reliability assessment of key photonic technologies.

Three main topics will be considered:

• High reliable active optoelectronic devices: needs, challenges and methodologies for a short-term industrialization.
• Optical sensing technologies for Aeronautics/Space and Automotive applications: current trends and reliability requirements.
• Breakthrough industry markets in the photonic domain are strongly pushed by packaging and assembly technologies.

 This workshop is a chance to hear about the vision and the roadmap of several key industries handling high TRL products, challenged by research laboratories and academics proposing low TRL innovative constructions. It is expected to stimulate links and collaborative studies between System Manufacturers, Agencies, Academic Laboratories, Research Centers and End-users acting in the fields of aeronautics, space, automotive and ground application industries. The work space will be organized in several discussions with interactive talks on selected topics. Each panel member will be invited to share its experience and advice in the field selected. A final round-table discussion will conclude the workshop.
