Abstract :AIM Photonics, a Department of Defense (DoD) Manufacturing Innovation Institute (MII), offers end-to-end services in photonic integrated circuits (PICs), interposers, heterogeneous integration (HI), electronic photonic design automation (EPDA), and packaging. AIM Photonics leverages the 300 mm Albany NanoTech Complex and the Test Assembly and Packaging (TAP) facility in Rochester, NY, to provide these state-of-the-art capabilities. As a DoD MII, AIM Photonics’ mission is to advance the photonics and packaging industries to help improve the U.S. ecosystem and build a skilled <a href="http://workforce.This" target="_blank" title="workforce.This">workforce.This talk will focus on how AIM Photonics is accomplishing its mission. To help advance the ecosystem, AIM Photonics offers interposer technologies and the two fundamental PIC technologies: Base Multi-Project Wafer (MPW) and SiN MPW, which are optimized for sensors. In addition to the current offerings, AIM Photonics will soon offer a Quantum Flex (QFlex) MPW optimized for quantum <a href="http://applications.Because" target="_blank" title="applications.Because">applications.Because of the challenges in photonic packaging, packaging PIC chips into functional optoelectronic systems has not fully incorporated the advances made in electronic packaging. Addressing these challenges will require a coordinated development of PIC fabrication processes and packaging technologies. An end-to-end development cycle that includes the PIC and packaging is critical. This talk will discuss the AIM Photonics ecosystem and provide specific examples to illustrate co-processing and <a href="http://co-design.Another" target="_blank" title="co-design.Another">co-design.Another challenge that AIM Photonics is addressing is the development of a skilled workforce.

The IEEE Vancouver Section is organizing a series of presentations to address the widespread interest in clean energy sources, new nuclear reactor technologies, and the various related issues. This series of talks will cover aspects of nuclear energy and the disruptive new technology of Small Modular Reactors. These presentations will be of interest both to engineers who are not nuclear specialists, and to the general public who are interested in learning about the <a href="http://technology.TOPIC:" target="_blank" title="technology.TOPIC:">technology.TOPIC: The movie "Nuclear Now"March 26, 2025LOCATION: OnlinePRESENTER: The movie "Nuclear Now" Here is a link to the official website, <a href="https://www.nuclearnowfilm.com/We" target="_blank" title="https://www.nuclearnowfilm.com/We">https://www.nuclearnowfilm.com/We will kick-off the Nuclear Energy Series talks by viewing the movie “Nuclear Now”. We will collect your comments and questions during the film, and use them in planning the rest of Nuclear Energy <a href="http://Series.The" target="_blank" title="Series.The">Series.The documentary, “Nuclear Now”, effectively compiles significant historical insights into the complex and often contradictory relationship that society has maintained with nuclear energy. Oliver Stone presents a compelling argument in favor of nuclear power, portraying it as a crucial and potentially sustainable solution to our energy needs. The film is both thought-provoking and expertly crafted, making a strong case that the risks associated with nuclear energy are minor compared to the looming threat of climate change. Stone illustrates how, during the 1950s and 1960s, there was a global consensus on the positive potential of nuclear energy, which was later undermined by the powerful interests of the oil and coal industries that sought to manipulate public perception. Notably, the documentary also addresses the potential biases that viewers may hold, particularly due to Hollywood's dramatization of nuclear issues, and it skillfully navigates through factual information to provide a balanced <a href="http://perspective.This">perspective.(<a href="https://ieee-sustech.org/2023/ieees-sustech-initiative/)-" target="_blank" title="https://ieee-sustech.org/2023/ieees-sustech-initiative/)-">https://ieee-sustech.org/2023/ieees-sustech-initiative/)- (<a href="https://vancouver.ieee.ca/physics/)This" target="_blank" title="https://vancouver.ieee.ca/physics/)This">https://vancouver.ieee.ca/physics/)This presentation series is supported by:- (<a href="https://ieee-npss.org/)Co-sponsored" target="_blank" title="https://ieee-npss.org/)Co-sponsored">https://ieee-npss.org/)Co-sponsored by: IEEE Future Directions Committee, IEEE Sustech InitiativeAgenda: The presentation will start at 9:00 AM Pacific Time (12:00 EDT, 16:00 UTC).09:00 Welcome and Speaker Introduction09:10 Presentation10:40 Questions and Answers11:00 Presentation endsNOTE Please be sure to leave sufficient time to set up your web browser and / or remote meeting client prior to the start <a href="http://time.Virtual:" target="_blank" title="time.Virtual:">time.Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/470057
