of Ottawaa recognized world
leader in photonic who recently received "nearly $800,000 in
funding to support collaborative research projects as part of the
National Research Council's Challenge programs." (January 27, 2021)
together with the Centre d'optique, photonique et laser
grouping eight universities Quebec Province.
With
36 Universities offering photonics programs and 11 R&D
Centers the photonics activities in Canada are divers and the
drivers of the Canadian economy on the cutting edge of
technology.
Universities are working together with the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) in fostering innovation in photonics and generating IP that is helping Canada and the Canadian Economy.
At the same time preparing the workforce for tomorrow of highly trained individual in the high-tech industry.
CMC Microsystems is a Canadian organization with the goal of breaking down barriers for technology adoption "by creating and sharing platform technologies." They are also managing Canada's National Design Network®, a national network of 10,000 academic participants and 1,000 companies developing innovations in micro-nanotechnologies. Micro-nanotechnologies include photonics devices with developments in Silicon photonics and quantum photonics just to name a few at the cutting edge of photonics.
