Projectdetails

Introduction

Alcyon Photonics, founded in 2018 as a spin-off of the National Research Council in Spain, provides high-performance components to foster a new generation of smarter photonic circuits and devices for use in application areas like communications, sensing, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, the Internet of Things (IoT), and quantum computing.

Project Overview

The SPHUN project will develop a digital platform with the objective to enrich and validate an extended library of innovative photonic building blocks based on novel metamaterials with sub-wavelength structures.

Goals

The project aims to enable designers of new photonic devices to streamline their design of advanced photonic integrated circuits (PICs).

Features of the Library

The library will offer a diverse range of functionalities with:

  • Improved performance
  • Versatility
  • Robustness
  • Lower costs than alternatives in the market today

All features will be presented in a simple format and will be compatible with semiconductor foundries’ traditional electronics fabrication methods.
