Abstract : AIM Photonics, a Department of Defense (DoD) Manufacturing Innovation Institute (MII), offers end-to-end services in photonic integrated circuits (PICs), interposers, heterogeneous integration (HI), electronic photonic design automation (EPDA), and packaging. AIM Photonics leverages the 300 mm Albany NanoTech Complex and the Test Assembly and Packaging (TAP) facility in Rochester, NY, to provide these state-of-the-art capabilities. As a DoD MII, AIM Photonics’ mission is to advance the photonics and packaging industries to help improve the U.S. ecosystem and build a skilled workforce. This talk will focus on how AIM Photonics is accomplishing its mission. To help advance the ecosystem, AIM Photonics offers interposer technologies and the two fundamental PIC technologies: Base Multi-Project Wafer (MPW) and SiN MPW, which are optimized for sensors. In addition to the current offerings, AIM Photonics will soon offer a Quantum Flex (QFlex) MPW optimized for quantum applications. Because of the challenges in photonic packaging, packaging PIC chips into functional optoelectronic systems has not fully incorporated the advances made in electronic packaging. Addressing these challenges will require a coordinated development of PIC fabrication processes and packaging technologies. An end-to-end development cycle that includes the PIC and packaging is critical. This talk will discuss the AIM Photonics ecosystem and provide specific examples to illustrate co-processing and co-design. Another challenge that AIM Photonics is addressing is the development of a skilled workforce. This talk will share an overview of our education and workforce development programs, which aim to build a qualified workforce to support the U.S. ecosystem.

[] The analysis of electromagnetic problems with moving objects has many applications: RF Doppler radars, astrophysics, GPS, electromagnetic gyroscopes… This seminar proposes an original and thorough analysis of the behavior of electromagnetic waves in the presence of moving bodies by using the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method. Movements are implemented by changing positions of the objects at each time step, through the classical FDTD time loop. With this direct approach, time is implicitly absolute and Voigt-Lorentz transformations are not implemented. This technique is suitable for non-relativistic speeds, thus for most encountered electromagnetic problems, especially in antennas and propagation domain. The numerical aspects that need to be considered are studied. Then, different problems are investigated: moving plane wave source with resistors, moving observation point, moving inclined Partially Reflecting Surface (PRS), moving line source, and moving metallic cylinder illuminated by a plane wave. The results, in terms of Doppler frequency shift and changes in amplitude of the electric field, are compared with those of special relativity which are considered as the references. Some aspects of special relativity are present in the direct FDTD approach, such as the independence of the velocity of electromagnetic wave propagation with the speed of the source and Lorentz local time (with a different physical interpretation). Some of the obtained results agree with special relativity. Other ones are different, but the differences are negligible for non-relativistic speeds. Techniques are proposed for the implementation of relativistic effects. The results obtained with our analysis bring new physical insights on the propagation of waves with moving bodies. In particular, it is shown that the amplitude of the electric field for an ideal plane wave source does not increase with the speed of motion. Moreover, for a moving scattering metallic wire, one can observe a phenomenon similar to shock waves. Other analyzed problems include complexes motions (multiple speeds, acceleration, rotation, oscillation), moving airplanes, Michelson-Morley interferometer, Sagnac effect, Heaviside faster-than-light analysis. Some quantum phenomena (Compton experiment, blackbody radiation) are also studied… Speaker(s): Professor Halim Boutayeb Agenda: 11:30am - 12:15pm: Lecture by Professor Halim Boutayeb 12:15pm - 12:30pm: Question and Answer (Q/A) Room: RBCx Finance Quarter, Bldg: Hub350, 350 Legget Dr, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K2K 3N1
