This $1,000,000 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program supports Iris Light Technologies Inc., a small business, in developing on-chip silicon photonic light emitters enabled by printed photonic ink.
The key deliverables for this 2-year effort include integrating photonic inks emitting at 1450 nm directly onto a foundry chip to demonstrate critical on-chip laser components required for integrated photonics systems. This will advance the scalability and viability of photonic integrated circuits as a platform for developing advanced sensors, including for defense and medical applications. The project also explores photodetection capabilities to further expand the impact of the ink-printed photonic components and enable large-scale production of this transformative technology.
