Accelerating the transition of America's integrated photonics solutions from innovation to manufacturing
About us
The American Institute for Manufacturing Integrated Photonics (AIM Photonics), is an industry driven public-private partnership that focuses the nation’s premiere capabilities and expertise to capture critical global manufacturing leadership in a technology that is both essential to national security and positioned to provide a compelling return-on-investment to the U.S. economy. The Institute’s goal is to emulate the dramatic successes experienced by the electronics industry over the past 40 years and transition key lessons, processes, and approaches to the photonic integrated circuit (PIC) industry. AIM Photonics supports small and medium enterprises, providing practical access and technology on-ramps for U.S. industry, government, and academic communities. We are creating a national PIC manufacturing infrastructure, widely accessible and inherently flexible to meet the challenges of the marketplace with practical, innovative solutions. VISION: Establish a technology, business and education framework for industry, government and academia to accelerate the transition of integrated photonic solutions from innovation to manufacturing-ready deployment in systems spanning commercial and defense applications. MISSION: Seek to advance integrated photonic circuit manufacturing technology development while simultaneously providing access to state-of-the-art fabrication, packaging, and testing capabilities for small-to-medium enterprises, academia and the government; create an adaptive integrated photonic circuit workforce capable of meeting industry needs and thus further increasing domestic competitiveness; and meet participating commercial, defense and civilian agency needs in this burgeoning technology area.

Great work in education workforce development initiatives from AIM member and EWD collaborator!
🌟 Last week, the Spark Photonics Foundation, in collaboration with Western New England University and Springfield Technical Community College, hosted an Optics and Photonics Curriculum Workshop for local educators! 🌟 The day started with an introduction to SparkAlpha Explore, where teachers worked in groups using a case story to write a problem statement for a photonic-based sensing device and explained how their device would work using a block diagram. Nicholas M. Massa from STCC presented to educators about the fantastic career opportunities in optics and photonics and discussed the program at STCC. For the rest of the day, educators explored the science and application of light, gaining hands-on experience with science kits designed to demonstrate light behavior. Each teacher left with these kits for their classrooms and received compensation for their valuable time. A big thank you to Steve Adamshick and WNE for hosting such a wonderful event. We're excited about the positive impact this workshop will have on bringing photonics education to more students! #Photonics #STEMEducation #Optics #TeacherWorkshop #SparkAlphaExplore #CareerOpportunities #EducationInnovation

Congratulations to our partners and collaborators at the University of Rochester - and as AIM Photonics continues to remain highly engaged in the semiconductor ecosystem of Central and Western, NY! #semicondutors #NYSemiconductors
We're excited to share that the NY SMART I-Corridor Tech Hub, of which the University of Rochester is a lead partner, was selected as one of only 12 national Tech Hub award winners and is receiving $40 million in funding from the US Economic Development Administration to elevate the burgeoning semiconductor industry in Upstate New York. “I firmly believe that no region has more momentum as a center for innovation-led growth, and this funding will enable us to leverage our collective strengths and assets to build an ever-better future together as a global leader in semiconductor research and manufacturing," says University President Sarah Mangelsdorf. The NY SMART I-Corridor Tech Hub spans the Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse region and has engaged more than 100 institutions, assembling commitments from industry, academia, labor, non-profit, government, and other private sector members. Senator Chuck Schumer was in Rochester for the announcement, celebrating this prestigious federal Tech Hub designation and funding established in the landmark CHIPS and Science Act.
