INPHOMIR

Innovative ground-breaking technologies such as nano-satellite-based space navigation and autonomous navigation are currently hindered by the lack of compact, efficient sensing devices. The adoption of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for these applications has been restrained by the difficulty of integrating complete photonic sensors without optical interface within the same chip. The aim of INPHOMIR project is to provide a competitive and independent European supply chain of monolithic PIC building-blocks, operating at near and mid-infrared wavelengths, by proposing the Indium Phosphide platform as a valid solution for a technological scale-up.
