PRISM Silicon Photonics Hands-on Design Workshop (5-8 Feb 2024)

Instructor(s): Shankar Kumar Selvaraja and CADFEM application expert
Course Code: SiPh hands-on Course Credit: NA Course Term:

The workshop is offline on-site at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, between 5-8 February 2024. The hands-on silicon photonics design workshop is based on the Ansys Lumuerical EDA platform. The workshop will be a combination of theory and design. The participants will get an insight into the fabrication and characterisation constraints as well. As a participant, you will be taken through the full product cycle from design idea to characterised chip.

Full registration will have an opportunity to get their design fabricated at the National Nano fabrication Center (NNfC) and characterised in the Photonics Research Lab, at the Center for Nano Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.

Background requirement: Basic electromagnetics and Optics.

Registration Fee

Full registration cost for Industry professions/University faculty = 25,000.00+18% GST
Startups = 17,500.00+18% GST
Univerity students = 12,500.00+ 18% GST

The registration cost includes training material and catering.

*Accommodation and rental laptop during the workshop at additional cost.

Since the number of seats are limited, based on the number of registration and screening, we shall send registration confirmation in the first week of January 2024.

Last date for registration requests is December 24 2023.
