SUMMARY:The Future of Near-Earth Space. Space Debris and Space Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:Programmable Photonic Integrated Circuits provide mutability and versatility to optical networks. The ability to implement non-volatile mechanisms onto a standard platform is instrumental in providing zero-energy consumption during the exploitation of a programmed configuration. In this talk\, we will see the advancements and challenges of two of the most advanced strategies of endowing the highly standardized silicon photonic platform with non-volatility: Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and Phase Change Materials (PCM). We will see the work performed at EPFL in order to mature these two technologies with a focus on scalable fabrication. \nHernán Furci is a scientist in Photonics and Nanotechnologies at EPFL. With early career background in Nuclear Engineering and Heat Transfer\, he completed a PhD in Low Temperature Applied Physics at the University of Paris-Saclay in 2015. Subsequently\, he joined CERN\, where he developed micro-engineered superconducting thin film thermometry for sub-2K superfluid helium systems. His passion for microfabrication led him to joining Prof. Quack’s Photonics Group at EPFL in 2019. Since then\, he has conducted research and development in nanotechnology\, both in the fields of superconducting thin film sensors (SNF Ambizione grant) and integrated photonics (ESA-funded projects). The latter research targets the seamless integration with high-volume-compatible fabrication techniques of non-volatile mechanisms onto standard photonic platforms\, aiming at offering a landscape of ultra-low power programmable photonics.

We will see the work performed at EPFL in order to mature these two technologies with a focus on scalable fabrication. \nHernán Furci is a scientist in Photonics and Nanotechnologies at EPFL. With early career background in Nuclear Engineering and Heat Transfer\, he completed a PhD in Low Temperature Applied Physics at the University of Paris-Saclay in 2015. Subsequently\, he joined CERN\, where he developed micro-engineered superconducting thin film thermometry for sub-2K superfluid helium systems. His passion for microfabrication led him to joining Prof. Quack’s Photonics Group at EPFL in 2019. Since then\, he has conducted research and development in nanotechnology\, both in the fields of superconducting thin film sensors (SNF Ambizione grant) and integrated photonics (ESA-funded projects). The latter research targets the seamless integration with high-volume-compatible fabrication techniques of non-volatile mechanisms onto standard photonic platforms\, aiming at offering a landscape of ultra-low power programmable photonics.

The latter research targets the seamless integration with high-volume-compatible fabrication techniques of non-volatile mechanisms onto standard photonic platforms\, aiming at offering a landscape of ultra-low power programmable photonics.

SUMMARY:EUCASS 2025 - 11th European Conference for Aerospace Sciences
DESCRIPTION:Programmable Photonic Integrated Circuits provide mutability and versatility to optical networks. The ability to implement non-volatile mechanisms onto a standard platform is instrumental in providing zero-energy consumption during the exploitation of a programmed configuration. In this talk\, we will see the advancements and challenges of two of the most advanced strategies of endowing the highly standardized silicon photonic platform with non-volatility: Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and Phase Change Materials (PCM). We will see the work performed at EPFL in order to mature these two technologies with a focus on scalable fabrication. \nHernán Furci is a scientist in Photonics and Nanotechnologies at EPFL. With early career background in Nuclear Engineering and Heat Transfer\, he completed a PhD in Low Temperature Applied Physics at the University of Paris-Saclay in 2015. Subsequently\, he joined CERN\, where he developed micro-engineered superconducting thin film thermometry for sub-2K superfluid helium systems.
