"transceivers: power, speed, efficiency, same or less energy... hybrid: organic carbon-based compounds printed on silicon wafers... combining silicon photonic chips with other chips to form additional material platforms, for example crystal-on-insulator platforms in which thin monocrystalline layer placed on insulating substrate for later processing into optical components... AI, quantum technologies, medical engineering (sensors for wearable devices or in optical lab-on-chip analyzing blood samples... funded"
