Description
This grant funds research and innovation actions (RIA) focused on advancing the functionality, efficiency, and integration of photonic devices and circuits. Projects should target improved system performance through innovations such as enhanced spectral purity, broader wavelength coverage, increased output power, reduced noise, higher modulation or detection speeds, integration of novel materials, miniaturization, scalable interconnects, and notably, reduced power consumption. Demonstrations in representative system configurations relevant to digital, automotive, industrial, health, and security sectors are encouraged. The initiative is part of the co-programmed European Partnership on photonics and aims to reinforce the competitiveness of EU photonics actors while validating real-world applicability across multiple domains.
