The University of Washington’s new Institute for Photonic Integration is organizing a big event on Feb. 1 about OpSIS, which it describes as a system for developing “cutting-edge silicon photonic systems by allowing the community to share the cost of fabricating complex chip-scale systems across many projects.” Featured speakers include Justin Rattner, the chief technology officer of Intel; Carver Mead, the professor emeritus of Caltech; and UW’s engineering dean, Matt O’Donnell.
