The EWD PIC kits have definitely shifted how the university’s integrated photonics curriculum will be taught in the future. “Previously, we’ve primarily focused on the theory behind fundamental passive/active photonic components. The EWD PIC kits now enable us to teach hands-on laboratory skills to accompany the theoretical foundation,” he said. (Photo courtesy of Western New England University). |
