Workshop: Photonics Packaging for Harsh Environments

Swissphotonics and the Swiss National Laboratory for Photonic Packaging SPPL invite to a workshop on packaging for harsh environments with CSEM SA, Empa and NTB-MNT.

Abstract
There are many applications where photonic packages face harsh environments that are beyond the range of standard use conditions. Commercial-off-the-shelf photonic components and modules are usually designed for moderate temperatures (0°C to 70°C) and to operate in stable, clean, indoor controlled environments. Harsh environments require higher grade packaging with screening and testing of these devices to more severe limits like high temperatures along with other adverse conditions such as high levels of EMI or radiation, extreme temperature cycling, shock, vibration, as well as being exposed to a variety of contaminants.

Target public
R & D, companies (from SMEs to LMEs) and researchers in the field of optical packaging, including light sources, optical connectors, sensors, environmental / medical instrumentation and bio implants with optical sub-modules.
