When : week starting 15/05

Dear all,

Given sufficient student interest, SCOPE has the opportunity to organise a company visit, including a cleanroom tour, of KAIAM Europe in mid-May. With its headquarters in California and a large-scale production site in Livingston, KAIAM is a world leading manufacturer of photonic integrated circuits and opto-electrical transceivers :

For many of us, this visit may be a unique chance to observe firsthand the production of cutting-edge photonics technology in an industrial, state-of-the-art cleanroom. KAIAM is currently growing and recruiting, with a specific interest for photonics engineers / experimental physicists, although their R&D team might also be interested in physicists with more theoretical training.

The visit would take place during the week starting May 15, over half a day (including transportation to/from Livingston). PhD students, Master students and post-docs are welcome*. Please note that the number of attendees will be limited due to the logistics of the cleanroom tour, and that participants will be asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement prior to the visit. You may also be asked to provide a short CV or quick description of your work to help KAIAM tailor the visit.

Importantly, please note that SCOPE may only organise this event if sufficient interest arises from the community and that a contribution to transport fees may be asked from non-SCOPE members.

If you are interested in this visit, please fill in your name and details before Monday evening (10/04) in the google spreadsheet below. THIS IS NOT A FINAL REGISTRATION FOR THE VISIT BUT HELPS US GAUGE INTEREST TO DECIDE HOW AND WHEN TO PROCEED WITH EVENT ORGANISATION.

Looking forward to visiting KAIAM with you !

*SCOPE student members will be given priority. If you are a member of the Institute of Physics, the Optical Society of America, or the European Physical Society (or its affiliated societies), you can join SCOPE immediately and for free - just send us an email at scope at strath.ac.uk<mailto:scope at strath.ac.uk>
