M.Tech / M.E/MS in relevant disciplines with specialization in Microelectronics & VLSI Technology / Applied Physics / Photonics (or) Master’s Degree in Science with two years’ experience in relevant areas Note: Selected candidates with Master’s degree will be encouraged to register for the PhD programme at IIT Madras

The major objective of this centre is to design and experimental demonstration of a multipurpose Field Programmable Photonic Gate Array (FPPGA) Core using Silicon Photonics Technology for various system level applications by interfacing fiber pigtailed lasers, modulators, control electronics, fiber attachment assemblies and driving software. b) As a proof of concept, the developed FPPGA core will be programmed for reconfigurable RF filters (C, X, Ku, K, Ka bands) and heralded single photon and/or entangled photon pairs for quantum key distribution (QKD). The proposed FPPGA core will be fiber pigtailed and packaged for field trials. c) Moreover, the hybrid/cointegration of FPPGA core with lasers, modulators, photodetector monitors and control electronics will be explored as a follow-up objective to optimize the size, weight and power consumption, i.e, to minimize the SWaP figure of merit. d) The Centre of Excellence CPPICS @ IIT Madras has been jointly sponsored by MeitY, Govt. of India and Si2 Microsystems, Bengaluru (www.si2microsystems.com ). Total project value is Rs. 2990.80 Lakhs (~ 4.1 Million USD) and for a duration of five years starting from 1st January, 2021.
