AIM Photonics Announces Release of Process Design Kit (PDK) for Integrated Silicon Photonics Design and Multi Project Wafer (MPW) availability.
The integrated silicon photonics Process Design Kit (PDK) is now available to all those organizations that have executed membership agreements. The achievement of this important milestone resulted from a project led by SUNY Polytechnic Institute, encompassing a significant effort by Analog Photonics, to create a library of photonic components designed to work within the SUNY Poly silicon photonics process.
The PDK will enable AIM Photonics members to access leading edge silicon photonics technology to generate their own piece of real estate on the up-coming Multi Project Wafer (MPW) run.

UCSB IPS student chapter president and electrical engineering graduate student, Eric Stanton, has created
Physics of lasers and light, a
mini-course for high school students that will be taught through the School for Scientific Though.
This course will target 20-25 high school students in grades 9-12, with special recruitment for underrepresented minorities and first generation college bound students.
In this Saturday science course, students will explore what makes lasers different from other sources of light and why lasers are important in modern society, how phones and the internet use light, and much more! They will discover how the fundamentals of light enable many current and future technologies through scientific demonstrations and hands-on experiments .
In honor of Manufacturing Day, the class on October 8, 2016 will focus on careers in manufacturing. This course is sponsored by a grant from the IEEE Photonics Society.
