Photonic Integrated Circuits Course
Our flagship 8-week online edX course focuses on the fabless design of silicon Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs). Students work with industry-leading Electronic Photonic Design Automation (EPDA) software through a step-by-step design sequence culminating in tape-out of electro-optically active PIC chip.
Integrated Photonics Course Series
Fundamentals of Integrated Photonics
Silicon-based integrated photonics is a modern engineering technology that hybridizes the information-relay capacity of optical fiber telecommunications with the processing infrastructure of microelectronics, opening transformative opportunities in cloud computing, wireless, sensing, imaging, and quantum computing.
Introduction to Semiconductor Resource Efficiency
A 6-week course exploring resource efficiency in semiconductor manufacturing, covering lifecycle analysis, Scope 1–3 emissions, carbon footprint, and life cycle intelligence (LCI). Designed for students, new hires, and instructors as a primer for integrating resource efficiency concepts into existing curricula.
Nonreciprocal Integrated Photonic Devices
Explore how optical isolators and circulators prevent cross-talk and feedback in photonic integrated circuits. This course covers materials, design, fabrication, characterization, and process integration of nonreciprocal devices for data communications, quantum computing, imaging, and other applications.
