Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) is globally recognized as one of the leaders in photonics research and played a pioneering role in the development of photonic chips. TU/e has been at the forefront of photonics since the 1980s, co-founding the well-known COBRA Research Institute in 1994, which evolved throughout the decades since then, with photonics research playing a big role in the new Casimir Institute today. While photonics has enabled major advances in high-bandwidth communications and optical sensing across industrial and healthcare sectors, optical processors have yet to find their way into practical applications. One critical building block, a photonic memory device, is one of the missing links.
Motion Imager’s experience in device, system design and its integration capability combined with a clear roadmap to industrialization complements TU/e’s photonics expertise in device and chip research aimed at foundry scale manufacturing. This can bring an inflection point for future photonic processors. Photonic processors combined with photonic memory show great promise in mitigating many of the today’s challenges and limitations of state-of-the art silicon electronic processors or photonic accelerators with electronic memory technology.\
