(KIT). Together with ficonTEC Service GmbH, that is market leader in several areas of optical systems assembly, VA was founded in 2017 by Prof. Christian Koos, Alois Hauk and Philipp-Immanuel Dietrich. VA offers industrial processes and equipment for photonic multi-chip integration based on additive manufacturing. VA will be involved in this project as a SME industry partner. VA has its own cleanroom facilities as well as processing and fabrication machinery for additive manufacturing based on two-photon polymerization. Associated processes ranging from pre- to post processing of multi-chip modules as well as optical characterization and transmission setups are also available at VA\u2019s cleanroom facilities. Moreover, VA has access to laboratories and technological infrastructure at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) through a cooperation agreement. VA is therefore perfectly capable of carrying out the project activities related to optical system assembly based on additive manufacturing.<\/p><p>Within VA, all activities will be carried out by a team of six to seven employees. The mainly responsible people at VA are Philipp-Immanuel Dietrich and Matthias Lauermann, both experts in the field of 3D- nanoprinting of optical interface-structures (see the section \u201ckey personnel\u201d below for more details).<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

specifically geared towards the development of photonic coupling interfaces and writing processes. The system is accommodated in a cleanroom cabin to ensure reliable processing of photonic integrated circuits without contamination. Moreover, VA provides access to processing equipment that allow accurate dispensing of resist- and cladding material for 3D- printing materials and encapsulation material as well as a variety of wet-chemical, thermal and UV processing steps. VA can characterize fabricated components in C- and O- Band which allows short cycling time. VA also has facilities and capabilities to custom tailor material for two- photon polymerization, according to the project\u2019s requirement, as well as testing equipment for a variety of reliability tests including thermal cycling from -40\u00b0C to 85\u00b0C.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-d002513\" data-id=\"d002513\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e5e7de elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0e5e7de\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/lidar-ophellia.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/illus-01-vanguard-1024x641.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2133\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lidar-ophellia.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/illus-01-vanguard-1024x641.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lidar-ophellia.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/illus-01-vanguard-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lidar-ophellia.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/illus-01-vanguard-768x481.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lidar-ophellia.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/illus-01-vanguard-1536x962.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lidar-ophellia.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/illus-01-vanguard-2048x1282.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-aac6b4d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"aac6b4d\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-4bebedd\" data-id=\"4bebedd\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a91b209 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a91b209\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/lidar-ophellia.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/iStock-1176581529-1024x681.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2410\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lidar-ophellia.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/iStock-1176581529-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lidar-ophellia.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/iStock-1176581529-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lidar-ophellia.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/iStock-1176581529-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lidar-ophellia.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/iStock-1176581529-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lidar-ophellia.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/iStock-1176581529-2048x1362.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-354505a\" data-id=\"354505a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b7adfc5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b7adfc5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 118\"><div class=\"section\"><div class=\"layoutArea\"><div class=\"column\"><div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 111\"><div class=\"section\"><div class=\"layoutArea\"><div class=\"column\"><div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 112\"><div class=\"section\"><div class=\"layoutArea\"><div class=\"column\"><div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 123\"><div class=\"section\"><div class=\"layoutArea\"><div class=\"column\"><div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 114\"><div class=\"section\"><div class=\"layoutArea\"><div class=\"column\"><p>In addition, VA has access to KIT\u2019s scientific infrastructure, in particular to analytic and characterization equipment, on the basis of a cooperation agreement.
