IEEE Photonics Society Distinguished Lecturer, Daniel Renner: Monolithic, Heterogeneous and Hybrid Photonic Integration

Photonic integration has been at the center of photonic activity for several years. Over this period, great strides have been made to increase the integration density and integrated chip functionality. This talk will work its way up from the drivers for photonic integration – why do we need Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs)? What are their similarities and differences with Electronic Integrated Circuits (EICs)? This analysis of integration drivers will lead to a discussion of recent progress on the main paths: monolithic, heterogeneous and hybrid. The talk will conclude with possible approaches to meet the additional demanding considerations for future Quantum PICs.

Daniel of Atacama Optics and Electronics

Topic:

Monolithic, Heterogeneous and Hybrid Photonic Integration – There is a role for all

Biography:

Dr. Daniel Renner grew up in the southern part of Chile, in South America. He received his Bachelor of Engineering
Degree from the Universidad de Chile and then, in his early twenties, he went to the University of Cambridge in
England to do a Ph.D. in opto-electronics, a new field of studies at the time. Now, decades later, he has lived
through the whole range of experiences that relate to the research, development, manufacturing and
commercialization of complex photonic devices and systems used in communication, sensor and industrial
applications. In the past 34 years, Daniel has been directly involved with the growth of four photonic startups in the
United States, Ortel Corporation, Agility Communications, Aerius Photonics and Freedom Photonics. This gives
him a unique perspective on the workings of a high-tech small business and the process of transforming leading-
edge photonic technology into products.
Daniel is currently at Atacama Optics & Electronics, Santa Barbara, California, where he provides support to
photonic companies in business development aspects. Additionally, Daniel is Chair of the IEEE Photonics Society
Industry Engagement Committee.
