Active dielectric-on-si3n4 double layer platform
aSINdo will study the technical feasibility and commercialization strategy of on-chip optical gain building blocks based on rare-earth ion doped Al2O3 that can be integrated onto passive integrated photonic material platforms, in particular Si3N4, to realize on-chip amplifiers and lasers.  

The value proposition of this technology is to enable photonic integrated circuits to achieve sufficient output power to empower multiple emerging applications. Important advantages with respect to existing solutions are the manufacturability, cost reduction, power efficiency and building block approach, which will ease the adoption of this technology by design houses and system integrators.

In aSINdo we will increase the readiness level of the technology, we will define an IPR strategy and we will give the first
steps towards its commercialization by means of a market study and business plan. Dissemination activities will ensure
knowledge transfer to relevant parties, which may play a crucial role in defining the commercialization strategy.
