The Communications Technology Roadmap (CTR) is a project under the
Microphotonics Industry Consortium,
which in turn is part of the MIT Microphotonics Center.
The purpose of this Roadmap is to understand the interaction between technology, industry, and
policy dynamics and from there, formulate a vision for the future of the microphotonics industry.
To review the key findings of CTR phase 1, please consult the 2005 published report,
Microphotonics: Hardware for the Information Age.
Learn more about who is involved in the ongoing CTR phase II Technology Workgroups.

:: ANNOUNCEMENT ::
 |
Jurgen Michel, Principal Research Scientist in the Microphotonic Center at MIT, will be presenting at a Photonics Workshop hosted by CTR Consortium Member LioniX on Monday, June 16, 2008. The presentation titled, Electronics-Photonics integration and Communication Technology Roadmap Development will present goals and developments of the MIT Communications Technology Roadmap. |
 |
Consortium Member Mehdi Ashgari from Kotura, Inc. will also be presenting at the same workshop. The presentation - Silicon photonics, a platform for volume manufacture of integrated devices, will address the challenges and benefits associated with the use of Si Photonics as a platform for volume production of integrated photonics products.
