EPIC Online Technology Meeting on Integrated Photonics for Sensing will focus on how photonic integrated circuits are enabling a new generation of compact, high-performance sensing solutions across industrial, environmental, automotive, healthcare, and security applications. By integrating light generation, manipulation, and detection on a single chip, integrated photonics offers improved sensitivity, stability, and scalability compared to traditional bulk-optic sensing approaches. This online meeting will bring together technology developers, system integrators, material and component suppliers, and end users from across the EPIC network to discuss recent advances in photonic sensing technologies. Topics will include integrated sensors for chemical and biological detection, environmental monitoring, LiDAR and ranging, inertial and fiber-optic sensing, as well as emerging applications enabled by silicon photonics, silicon nitride, and hybrid photonic platforms. With a strong focus on real-world deployment, the discussions will address system-level integration, packaging, reliability, calibration, and cost, as well as pathways to volume manufacturing. From lab-on-chip sensors to scalable sensing modules, the meeting will provide insight into how integrated photonics is driving the industrial adoption of advanced sensing technologies.
