Photonics & Organic Electronics


Concertation meeting - Photonic Integrated Circuits/Integration of Photonic technologies
Brussels, 26 September 2007, Holiday Inn, Belgium

This event, being the first of this kind, concentrated in projects dealing with Photonic Integrated Circuits/Integration of Photonic Technologies.

The meeting was organised by OPERA project and it brought together 12 projects that presented their key challenges and results to date followed by an open discussion forum chaired by Prof. Righini. The event was attended by 45 people.

Please see below the agenda and the presentations:
