We’re happy to share that the SPRINTER Project, coordinated by PCRL – Photonics Communications Research Laboratory, will participate in the 25th Anniversary International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON 2025), one of the leading global events in photonics and optical communication.
📍 Presentation Details
Title: Demonstration of an Optical 16×16 Benes Switch based on 3D Photonic Integration
Presenter: Georgios Megas (PCRL)
Date & Time: Thursday, July 10 | 11:55
Session: Th.B7.5 – Materials & Devices
Room: 205
Location: Barcelona, Spain
Georgios Megas will present a novel 16×16 Benes optical switch, developed using advanced 3D photonic integration. This innovative technology marks a significant step forward in scalable, high-density optical switching for next-generation networks.
📉 The demonstration comes from the collaborative efforts of the SPRINTER and POETICS projects and highlights clear improvements in performance, miniaturization, and power efficiency.
