SFO Thematic school 2025
Lithium Niobate on Insulator integrated photonics from fabrication to classical and quantum applications
The Houches Physics School, France, May 12 to 23 - 2025
The workshop is dedicated to bring leaders in integrated photonics platform of Lithium Niobate On Insulator (LNOI) together with the aim of providing an overview on the advances that have been achieved over the last years, use this overview to speculate about future opportunities of LNOI and provide recommendations on how these opportunities can be realized by coordinated research efforts. The workshop will cover all aspects, including simulation and fabrication, devices that use electro-optic and nonlinear optical properties of LNOI, and applications spanning from classical to quantum optical. This workshop is motivated as shortly after its emergence, the LNOI platform has taken the performance of electro-optical and nonlinear optical devices to a higher level, taking the lead over the bulk lithium niobate-based compounds developed over the last decades, making this unique workshop very timely as it will provide a forecast of the future of this platform and boost coordinated research collaborations.
