Center for Integrated Photonics Eindhoven
The Center for Integrated Photonics Eindhoven carries out research in materials, devices, circuits and systems enabling novel applications in communication, computing and sensing. The Center is funded by a 10-years NWO-Gravitation grant.
Mission and ambition
The Center for Integrated Photonics Eindhoven (IPI) is a leading R&D center in the field of integrated photonics. The work of the center ranges from fundamental scientific research in materials to the development of novel photonic devices, circuits and systems. This research directly addresses societal challenges such as the exponential growth and increasing energy footprint of the internet and the need for personalized medical care.
The Center for Integrated Photonics Eindhoven continues the tradition of the 黑料福利网 research school COBRA and of the former Institute for Photonic Integration, and it is part of the Eindhoven Hendrik Casimir Institute, which has a broader focus on information technology. The center regroups over 100 researchers active in the field of photonics, and has access to a large cleanroom (800 m2) optimized for photonics R&D.

RELATED RESEARCH GROUPS
The seven 黑料福利网 groups working on Integrated Photonics together cover three fields:
- Photonic materials and devices
- Photonic integrated circuits
- Photonic systems
Casimir Institute
Chips and systems are the invisible infrastructure of modern life, powering AI, enabling green technologies, advancing healthcare, and driving digital transformation. The catalyzes innovation across disciplines by bringing together 700 researchers under one roof, and delivering tangible solutions for a sustainable digital information society. Located in the heart of Europe鈥檚 Brainport region, we are establishing the Chips and Systems University of Europe. Our mission is to secure Europe鈥檚 technological sovereignty by accelerating innovation in chip technologies and high-tech systems, aligned with the and the .
Inspired by Hendrik Casimir鈥檚 science-technology spiral, we embrace the reciprocal relationship between fundamental research and technological advancement. Our approach focused on future chips and high-tech systems, intertwines four key domains - design and integration, materials and processes, equipment and components, and foundational technologies into a seamless innovation engine. We deliver sustainable, high-impact innovations and develop the technologies and talent that shape the future of chips and high-tech systems worldwide.
PhotonDelta
The Center for Integrated Photonics Eindhoven is the knowledge engine of the ecosystem, the sum of high-tech companies, knowledge institutions and authorities that have joined forces to gain a leading position in the development and commercialization of photonics. A key center of the Photon Delta lies in Brainport Eindhoven region, but there are also many parties involved from the rest of the Netherlands, Europe and worldwide.
Phactory 鈥� Your Gateway to Photonics Innovation
Photonics, the science of light, is revolutionizing industries from healthcare and manufacturing to energy and ICT.
