    PIC Bootcamp - Training

    The PIC Bootcamp is a leading course that teaches engineers how to create photonic-integrated devices for real-world applications.

    Light Trace led a two-day session at PIC Bootcamp with the LightPort, giving attendees extensive hands-on experience using and programming photonic chips.

    “I had a great time at the workshop, learning about each component and interacting with it on the LightPort. It was wonderful to finally work with the photonic components after learning about it during my masters.”

    Consultancy

    Zero Point Motion is developing photonic chip-enabled, next-generation acceleration & rotation sensors.

    Light Trace proved to be an invaluable resource to them during the early stages, providing support for layout and helping them meet tight tapeout deadlines. More recently, we have assisted them in exploring entry points into low-loss photonic platforms.

    "The Light Trace team was knowledgeable, efficient, and will add value to any silicon photonics activity."
