H2020 OPHELLIA has just kicked-off. It is a collaborative research project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. The objective of OPHELLIA is to develop novel materials and integration technology for the realization of innovative PIC(a) building blocks to develop PIC-based laser sources for emerging TOF(Time of Fligth) and FMCW(Frequency-modulated continuous-wav) LiDAR applications. These LIDAR will be low cost and low size thanks to the high chip integration and tolerant packaging technology while, at the same time, exhibit the same or even higher performance than existing solutions.
We are looking forward to cooperate with KEOPSYS INDUSTRIES, LioniX International, Vanguard Automation GmbH, Thales, SICK Sensor Intelligence and RIEGL.
