  • ICT-36-2020
    Disruptive photonics technologies

    MOTIVATION The older IA, Pilot line for Assembly and Packagingis, is called again in the current RIA, Packaging and module integration for photonic integrated circuits (PIC). The two linked parts differ in that the first is calling for a Pilot Line services and the later does not. Also, the older RIA, "Biophotonics: advancing imaging for in-depth disease diagnosis" part, is linked to the current in the sense that both are focused on the use of photonics technologies for health solutions. The difference is that the older is focused on medical imaging (of body), and the later is focused on the cellualr origin of diseaese (macroscopy vs. microscopy). Both want a solution that will allow to see the unseen in order to understand what is going on, while the older is focused on the challenge of opacity of the (humane) body and seeing inside, the later is focused on seeing in the micro-nanno/organelle-mellecular levels.

Specific Challenge:

Europe's photonics industry is facing fierce global market competition and has to cope with a very high speed of technological developments in the field. Further major S&T progress and research and innovation investments are required for sustaining Europe's industrial competitiveness and leadership in photonic market sectors where Europe is strong (e.g. in laser-based manufacturing, medical photonics, sensing, lighting) and to exploit new emerging market opportunities.

Moreover, Europe is experiencing the existence of many fragmented and rather uncoordinated developments between many different national and regional players. Europe suffers also from a slow innovation process for turning many good R&D results into innovative products (‘Valley of Death’). This requires a joined-up approach, covering missing links in the value chain, such as assembly and packaging of photonics components. Finally, Europe needs to better exploit the large enabling potential of photonics in many industrial sectors and in solutions addressing major societal challenges such as health and well-being, energy efficiency or safety. Europe also needs to better exploit the innovation leverage potential of the innovation clusters and national platforms. The new trend in society of makerlabs and the efforts to create more interest in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) need to be exploited to generate an increased awareness of and improved skills in photonics.

In order to capitalise on the opportunities coming from advances in Photonics for laser-based production, a topic addressing these is proposed in collaboration[1] with Factories of the Future topic FOF-13-2016 - Photonics Laser-based production.

Scope

a. Research and Innovation Actions

Application driven core photonic technology developments for a new generation of photonic devices (including components, modules and sub-systems): Actions should demonstrate strong industrial commitment, be driven by user needs and concrete business cases supported by strong exploitation strategies, and cover the value/supply chain as appropriate. Actions should address manufacturability and validation of results for the target applications and should include standardisation activities as appropriate. Actions may also include the related materials. Focus is on one of the following themes:

  • Biophotonics: advancing imaging for in-depth disease diagnosis: The objective is to develop innovative, compact, easy to operate non- or minimally invasive functional imaging systems that are multi-band and multimodal (including photonics in combination with non-photonic techniques) to support the in vivo diagnosis of age and life-style related diseases like cancer, cardiovascular, osteoarticular, eye diseases and various neuro-pathologies, after a positive screening. The imaging system must be either label-free or based on already/rapidly safety-approved labels, and should either address unmet medical needs or support a diagnostic approach which is significantly superior to existing approaches. Physicians/clinicians must be closely involved from requirement specifications to the validation. Validation in clinical settings should be included, but clinical trials are excluded.
  • Breakthrough in miniaturization of SSL light engines and systems: Research into breakthrough miniaturization of SSL (LED and OLED) light engines and systems allowing for new types or revolutionary designs of luminaires and lamps with new form factors and expanding application fields, such as in automotive, signalling, wearables, and through the integration into building materials in the construction sector. Research on the integration of driver electronics and system and functionality aspects may be included.
  • Pervasive high-specificity and high-sensitivity sensing for a safer environment: Breakthrough advances in cost-effective, compact, high-performance (both in specificity and sensitivity) photonic devices (including sources) for pervasive (i.e. large area coverage) near- and mid-infrared sensing applications (spectral range of 2 to 12 μm) for a safer environment, such as monitoring of water or air quality at large scale. Specificity and sensitivity levels should at least respect regulatory requirements. Actions should include validation of the device and proof of its suitability for the targeted application. Research on application related computation, communication and sensor system/network level aspects should be excluded, while development necessary for validation can be included. Hybrid solutions where the core photonic technology is complemented with other technologies are allowed.
  • The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU of between EUR 2 and 4 million would allow this area to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts. Minimum one action per theme will be selected.

    b. Innovation Actions

    Focus is on one of the following themes:

  • Application driven core photonic devices integrated in systems: Focus is on microdisplay-based immersive, augmented and virtual reality visualisation systems. Actions should address validation and demonstration of new micro-display based visualization systems for key applications in e.g. healthcare, maintenance & training, entertainment, tourism or sports. This may include wearable systems, as well as larger projection systems. Actions should also include standardisation activities. They should demonstrate strong industrial commitment, be driven by user needs and concrete business cases supported by strong exploitation strategies, and cover the whole value/supply chain and the end-user.
  • Pilot line for Assembly and Packaging[2] : The objective is to set-up a pilot line for the assembly and packaging of integrated photonic components. The pilot line should offer generic solutions for a wide class of PICs (Photonic Integrated Circuits) as well as for the more demanding requirements of some selected PIC-based product groups of strategic interest to European industry. It should cover all stages of manufacturing through to testing. From technical as well as from user perspective, it should provide a low entry barrier access to low and medium production volumes, although the available processes should be suited also for scaling to high volume production. The action may include also process and equipment optimisation and qualification, and should include a validation of the pilot line offer with involvement of external users through pre-commercial pilot runs. A credible strategy to future full-scale manufacturing in Europe is expected. The action should deliver the additional knowledge and experience needed for this, be driven by the key stakeholders able to set-up and run such pilot lines, and cover the value chain as appropriate.
  • The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU between EUR 2 and 4 million (for theme b.i), and between EUR 6 and 14 million (for theme b.ii) would allow these themes to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts. Minimum one action per theme will be selected.

    c. Coordination and support actions

  • Coordination of regional photonics strategies: The objective is to stimulate collaboration of photonics clusters to extend the range of Go-To-Market services for SMEs (including access to finance) through exchanging and adopting best practises, to network the SMEs with potential collaborators, business partners and customers, and to coordinate regional, national and European strategies and financial resources to the benefit of the local ecosystem and the regional smart specialisation strategies. Actions should build on on-going support actions in this field.
  • Photonics enhanced MakerLabs[2] : The objective is to raise awareness, support hands-on learning and enhance skills of students, technicians and young professionals interested in photonics by extending existing facilities in order to provide access to photonic components, photonics-based equipment and related support services.
  • The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU of up to EUR 1.5 million would allow these themes to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts. Minimum one action per theme will be selected.
