Photonics Society
This seminar will discuss the driving motivations for and technical approaches to phot onic integration\, by Dr. Daniel Renner\, Distinguished Lecturer of the IE EE Photonics Society.
Dr. Daniel Renner
Agenda:
6:00 pm Networking starts
6:15 pm Light meals served< /p>
7:00 pm Seminar starts
Photonic integration has been at the center of photonic activity for several years. Over this period\, great st rides have been made to increase the integration density and integrated ch ip functionality. This talk will work its way up from the drivers for phot onic integration – why do we need Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs)? Wha t are their similarities and differences with Electronic Integrated Circui ts (EICs)? This analysis of integration drivers will lead to a discussion of recent progress on the main paths: monolithic\, heterogeneous and hybri d. The talk will conclude with possible approaches to meet the additional demanding considerations for future Quantum PICs.
Bio: Dr. Daniel Renner grew up in the southern part of Chile\, in South Am erica. 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 st udies at the time. Now\, decades later\, he has lived through the whole ra nge of experiences that relate to the research\, development\, manufacturi ng and commercialization of complex photonic devices and systems\, used in communication\, sensor and industrial applications. In the past 30 years\ , Daniel has been directly involved with the growth of four photonic start -ups in the United States\, Ortel Corporation\, Agility Communications\, A erius Photonics and Freedom Photonics. This gives him a unique perspective on the workings of a high-tech small business. Daniel is currently the Ch air of the IEEE Photonics Society Industry Engagement Committee\, from whe re he is trying to help other photonic small businesses.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
New Format Combining Live Workshops with Pre-recorded Video
This is a hands-on course providing pre-recorded lec tures that students can watch on their own schedule and < strong>an unlimited number of times prior to live Q&A/Workshop se ssions with the instructor. Ten 1.5 hour videos released 2 per week while the course is in session will be available for up to two months after the conclusion of the course.
Course Summary
Th is course is a fresh view of the fundamental and practical concepts of dig ital signal processing applicable to the design of mixed signal design wit h A/D conversion\, digital filters\, operations with the FFT\, and multi-r ate signal processing. This course will build an intuitive understanding of the underlying mathematics through the use of graphics \, visual demonstrations\, and applications in GPS and mixed signal (analo g/digital) modern transceivers. This course is applicable to DSP algorithm development with a focus on meeting practical hardware development challe nges in both the analog and digital domains\, and not a tutorial on workin g with specific DSP processor hardware.
Now with Jupyter No tebooks!
This long-running IEEE Course has been updated to include Jupyter Notebooks wh ich incorporates graphics together with Python simulation code to provide a “take-it-with-you” interactive user experience. No know ledge of Python is required but the notebooks will provide a basic framewo rk for proceeding with further signal processing development using that to ols for those that have interest in doing so.
This course will not be teaching Python\, but using it for demonstration. A more detailed cours e on Python itself is covered in a separate IEEE Course “Python Applicatio ns for Digital Design and Signal Processing”.
Students will be enco uraged but not required to load all the Python tools needed\, and all set- up information for installation will be provided prior to the start of cla ss.
Target Audience:
All engineers involved in or interested in signal processing applications. Engineers with signif icant experience with DSP will also appreciate this opportunity for an in- depth review of the fundamental DSP concepts from a different perspective than that given in a traditional introductory DSP course.
B enefits of Attending/ Goals of Course:
Attendees will buil d a stronger intuitive understanding of the fundamental signal processing concepts involved with digital filtering and mixed signal analog and digit al design. With this\, attendees will be able to implement more creative a nd efficient signal processing architectures in both the analog and digita l domains. The knowledge gained from this course will have immediate pract ical value for any work in the signal processing field.
Top ics / Schedule:
Pre-recorded lectures: (3 hours each) wil l be distributed Friday prior to each week’s workshop dates. Workshop/Q&A Sessions are 6 – 7:30PM on the dates listed below.
