Closed HORIZON-CL4-2023-DIGITAL-EMERGING-01-53 HORIZON

Versatile light sources and systems as tools for manufacturing and medical application (Photonics Partnership) (RIA)

Call text (as on F&T portal)

Expected Outcome:

Projects are expected to contribute to at least two of the following outcomes:

Outcome 1: Increased manufacturing productivity or increased quality and speed of diagnosis results;
Outcome 2: Increased accuracy and/or reduced feature size in microelectronics production including packaging for the integration of photonic and electronic functionalities on chips;
Outcome 3: Increased specificity of diagnosis of human tissue, specific single cells, or molecular biomarkers in body liquids.

Scope:

Proposals should address new versatile light sources and lasers, concept and systems for extended and new fields of applications. Research challenges include:

Sources with multi-specification / multi-application potential;
Extended or new wavelength ranges, novel coherent sources;
Flexible and variable energy deposition (e.g. material processing, medical diagnosis) ;
Versatility by flexible pulse shapes, repetition rates and intensities (cw down to fs and bursts);
Miniaturized light sources and lasers employing photonic integrated circuit technology
Versatility by spectral tuneability, coherence and multi-wavelength emission;
Laser concepts and systems for multiphoton microscopy, spectroscopy and imaging.

The results and benefits of the developed technologies should be demonstrated in at least two realistic use cases.

Proposals submitted under this topic should include a business case and exploitation strategy, as outlined in the introduction to this Destination.

This topic implements the co-programmed European Partnership Photonics.

Activities are expected to start at TRL 2 and achieve TRL 5 by the end of the project – see General Annex B.
