Next-2Digits

Next-2Digits is an Horizon Europe funded project, that aims to develop the next generation of sensors and imagers enabled by 2D materials digital integration. With a consortium of 11 partners from 8 different countries, Next-2Digits aims to tackle the challenges associated with Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs), Optoelectronic Integrated Circuits (OEICs) and 2D materials. Next-2Digits benefits from the presence of well-reputed academic, research and industrial teams, whose areas of work span from photonics, material science, application-based integration technologies and validation. The proposed technology to integrate graphene into PICs, being one-step and free of chemical processing, will have significant advantages in terms of cost, material and energy saving, and reduced resulting waste. Next-2Digits envisions to develop the first hybrid Graphene-based photodetectors (PDs) and modulators (MDs). Next-2Digits is involved in the GrapheneEU CSA project, under the Graphene Flagship Initiative.
