EPIC Biophotonics Workshop Towards In Vivo Imaging HOSTED BY

30 nOV−1 dEC 2017 | Amsterdam, The netherlands

Bringing Photonics Technology Breakthroughs to Clinical Trials!

The maturing of technologies such as Hyperspectral Imaging, Raman, Photoacoustic tomography, Diffuse reflectance, Fluorescence and OCT has the potential to introduce new diagnostic equipment at clinics. The purpose of the ‘EPIC Biophotonics Workshop: Towards In Vivo Imaging’ is to bring together an audience of medical doctors, technology developers and system integrators to enable the transfer of novel photonic technologies to clinical trials. During two halfdays, the medical doctors will present their unmet needs, the photonic technology companies will present their currentsolutions and the system integrators will play the central role of bridging these two communities towards novel products.In addition, topics such as the needs and requirements in clinical trials, as well as FDA approval processes, shall be discussed.

SPOnSORS Gothenburg, Sweden | 18 September 2017CST Global is an independent manufacturer of III-V photonic devices who provide customfoundry services in InP, GaAs, GaN and GaSb on 2”, 3” and 4” wafers, and have ongoing, active research and development programmes in various technology areas in partnership withprivate and public bodies. CST Global also develop and manufacture custom and standardInP laser products for the FTTx (Fibre to the Home / Premises / Building) and PON (PassiveOptical Network) markets and are currently in the process of ramping production to >1M devices per month. CST Global are ISO 9001: 2015 certified and currently employ 52 staff inR&D, wafer fabrication and backend assembly & test at their facility in Hamilton, Glasgow. www.cstglobal.uk

PI (Physik Instrumente)with headquarters in Karlsruhe, Germany, in the past four decadeshas become the leading manufacturer of nanopositioning systems with accuracies in thenanometer range. With four company sites in Germany and fifteen sales and service officesabroad, the privately managed company operates globally. Over 850 highly qualified employeesaround the world enable the PI Group to meet almost any requirement in the field of innovative precision positioning technology. All key technologies are developed in-house.This allows the company to control every step of the process, from design right down to shipment: precision mechanics and electronics as well as position sensors.The required piezoceramic elements are manufactured by its subsidiary PI Ceramic in Lederhose, Germany,one of the global leaders for piezo actuator and sensor products. PI miCos GmbH in Eschbachnear Freiburg, Germany, is a specialist for positioning systems for ultrahigh vacuum applications as well as parallel-kinematic positioning systems with six degrees of freedom andcustom-made designs. www.pi.ws

PIXAPP is the world’s first open-access Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) Assembly and Packaging Pilot line, and helps users exploit the breakthrough advantages of PIC technologies.PIXAPP consists of a highly-interdisciplinary team of Europe’s leading industrial & researchorganisations, and provides users with single-point access to PIC assembly and packaging.The Pilot Line Gateway Office is PIXAPP's the easy-access interface for external users, and is located at the Tyndall National Institute, in Ireland. The Gateway is managed by an experienced team, including technical experts to review incoming user requests, and projectmanagers to organise the PIXAPP supply chain. PIXAPP bridges the ‘valley of death’ oftenassociated with moving from prototyping to low-volume fabrication, by giving companies aneasy-access route to transferring R&D results to the market. www.pixapp.eu

SMART Photonics, located in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, is a Pure Play Foundry offering production services for Indium Phosphide (InP) based photonic components. We useour extensive photonics knowledge, many years of experience in III-V production and dedi-cated equipment to create and produce the photonic designs of our customers. We offer thecomplete creation process from first Epitaxial growth, high resolution lithography, re-growth,wafer processing, metallization, polishing of wafers up to the coating of the chip facets. Wehelp our customers with either a single process step or the full production process whetherthey are in the proof of concept phase or require volume production. Fast prototyping ofPICs in InP on MPW-runs. SMART Photonics has further developed its generic integrationtechnology for integration of InP based photonic components. For this new technology, freeaccess to the SMART Photonics design manual is offered to customers to design their ownPICs. Designs can be easily, and cost effectively, tested in the SMART Photonics MPW-runswhich are offered on a quarterly basis. www.smartphotonics.nl
