1. Photonic Integration Training
Columbia University, NYC
Oct , 2015

2. Why Is Training so Critical for PICs?
Photonic Integration is now breaking through
PICs are increasingly made in outside foundries
This is similar to electronic ICs
Value chain also includes packaging, design S/W, brokers, etc
Training is best vehicle to learn complex value chain
Design software simply needs to be tried hands-on
Few unique aspects about this training:
Covers all key material systems, supported by 9 foundries
Have over 15 sponsors: 29 trainees with 24 trainers
Focus on business/market topics in addition to technical detail
Pay special attention to networking
