Needs of the Integrated Photonics Industry in Central Massachusetts Public

This project provides information on the status of the integrated photonics industry in Massachusetts in light of the creation of WPI’s Integrated Photonics Laboratory for Education and Application Prototypes (LEAP@WPI/QCC) facility. This LEAP was created to service the emergent integrated photonics industry in the Massachusetts area. Following interactions with stakeholders in the industry, we surveyed a broad array of companies to determine the needs of different industry sectors. We combined this information with analysis of current technology based on relevant academic literature to provide a snapshot of the industry's current and expected needs. A set of supporting information and recommendations for the operation of the LEAP@WPI/QCC facility are presented.
