The PASSION project offers new photonic technologies for supporting agile metro networks, enabling capacities of Tb/s per channel, 100 Tb/s per link and Pb/s per node over increased transport distances providing at least a tenfold reduction in components energy consumption and footprint. The essential photonic building blocks have been developed including i) a novel 3D stacked modular transceiver that combines a silicon photonics (SiPh) circuit layer with directly modulated high-bandwidth 1550nm VCSELs light sources, ii) InP based coherent receiver arrays which handle polarization on chip making polarization handling off chip unnecessary and iii) a compact and cost-effective switching concept which can support the Pb/s capacities generated by the transceiver modules, using a combination of InP and SiPh PICs. Increased system flexibility and modularity is obtained by sliceable bandwidth/bitrate variable transceivers. The resulting solution offers scalability, programmability and re-configurability using agile aggregation in spectrum, polarization and space dimensions. PASSION technology has developed a new generation of high-capacity photonic devices and sub-systems, addressing the growing market of metro network scenarios. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under grant agreement No 780326 and it is an initiative of the Photonics Public Private Partnership.

Special Event: Women in Photonics and Diversity Dimensions in Research
This special event will be held on Thursday afternoon (14:15 - 15:30), May 21, 2020.
Organizers:
Michela Svaluto Moreolo, CTTC
Marija Furdek, Chalmers University of Technology
Description:
This year for the first time ONDM organizes a special event supported by the IEEE Photonics Society in the framework of IEEE Women in Photonics.
This event aims at promoting diversity and inclusion and it is open to anyone interested. It is organized as a workshop with inspiring talks on IEEE related programs, mentorship and leadership practices, as well as human resources strategies focusing on how to introduce the diversity dimensions and women engagement in research.
Attendees are invited to participate and join the discussion to explore the opportunities, share ideas, exchange viewpoints and experiences, stay connected with the community and enjoy the event.
Speakers:
Natalia Cañas Estrada, Associate Vice President of STEM Outreach – IEEE Photonics society / PhD candidate Tyndall National Institute-UCC, “IEEE Photonics society: Optics and Photonics in pre-university education”
Marija Furdek, Assistant Professor, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, “How to Lead towards Diversity?”
Michela Svaluto Moreolo, Director of Quality Programs and Senior Researcher, CTTC, Spain, “Fostering Excellence and Diversity through Human Resources Strategy for Researchers”
