Project Overview The PIC-PATT project focuses on developing a photonic integrated transceiver to improve pointing, acquisition and tracking (PAT) accuracy in laser satellite communication systems. The project is executed at TU Delft (Faculty of Aerospace Engineering and 3mE) over 42 months, from January 2024 through December 2027. The work addresses one of the main technical

Project Overview The Coherent Everywhere project focuses on developing a complete coherent optical communication platform for datacom and telecom applications. The project is executed by EFFECT Photonics in Eindhoven and runs for 36 months. The programme aligns with the National Growth Fund Photonics initiative and addresses the increasing global demand for high-capacity, energy-efficient data transmission.

Scope: The project aims to develop highly reliable 100G Coherent PICs for the datacom and telecom industry. Much of the demand for these PICs is coming from Tier-1 companies that demand extremely high standards on reliability, quality, and supply chain scalability. The production of reliable 100G Coherent PICs would enable SMART Photonics to become a

Scope: The project aims to miniaturise and improve the accuracy of the pointing, acquisition and tracking (PAT) system for laser satellite communications. Main result achieved: The project started in July 2024. As such, thus far the TU Delft has hired a PhD-candidate and a Post-Doc, established collaboration with TNO and began to prepare a literature
