Integrated photonics, its physics, development and how it will change the future with Professor Martijn Heck

This episode has been recorded at Technical University Eindhoven.In this information-packed episode, Samantha and Professor Martijn Heck discussed photonic integration. Professor Heck started by explaining how integrated photonics developed out of photonics, his role in pioneering this technology, how it rose up in California, and the role of Intel back then. Then we discussed the inner workings and fabrication of an integrated photonic circuit which relies heavily on solid-state physic...
