Centre for Programmable Photonic Integrated Circuits and Systems (CPPICS) is one of the centre of excellence (CoE) initiatives by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Govt. of India. It is hosted by Department of Electrical Engineering, IIT Madras with a long-term mission for catering R&D in the area of programmable photonic integrated circuits and systems using CMOS compatible silicon photonics technology for solving various levels of complex problems. The immediate focus of this CoE is to provide better solutions for microwave and quantum photonics applications such as advanced photonic processors to be used in high-performance RF transceivers, scalable linear optical quantum computing (LOQC) processors for the next generation qubit computation, and chip-level quantum key generation and distribution circuits, etc.

Integrated Photonics

With 15 years of expertise in demonstrating novel integrated silicon photonic devices, our current focus is on research and development of system-in-package µwave and quantum photonics devices and circuits for system-level applications.

Fabrication Facilities

We are equipped with state-of-the-art nano-fabrication facilities in our Centre for NEMS and Nanophotonics (CNNP) along with the CoE-CPPICS integrated photonics device processing infrastructures.

Characterization Facilities

We are building world-class facilities capable of characterizing stand-alone photonics devices to more advanced field programmable photonic integrated circuits to be designed and fabricated for microwave and quantum photonic applications.

Demonstrated Devices

Over the years, a series of passive and active silicon photonics integrated devices and circuits have been successfully demonstrated in-house for cutting edge applications.

Packaging & Testing

Upon successful packaging of standalone integrated photonic devices, we are developing the system-in-packaging of programmable photonic integrated circuits in collaboration with izmo Microsystems.

Design Tools
