3. Objectives of MIRPHAB
To deploy new products swiftly inthe market and achieve prompt takeup in the environmental and chemicalsensing areas.
To be a platform for the prototyping andproduction of Mid-IR devices for thedetection of chemicals in gas and liquids.
The final objective is become a sustainablesource of key components for new and highlycompetitive MIR sensors facilitating the industrialtransformation of Europe for the year 2020.
3. The MIR Sensor SystemThe MIR Sensor System proposed by MIRPHAB consist of light sources, passivecomponents and IR detectors.
Laser (QC/IC)
Detector(type2/InAsSb/QCD)
Packaging(SOC & SIP approach)
Optics(PIC SOI/SiGe&Si/SiGe&Ge)
The wavelength at which the moleculeto detect is absorbing will define thesource, the PIC and the detection to beintegrated in the sensor system.
4. The MIR Sensor System: LASERS
QCL based sources
• Single DFB emitters • DFB arrays• Devices for extended tuning • Gain chips for µ-EC modules
ICL based sources
• Laterally coupled DFB emitters• Mode matched Devices for
integration• Gain chips for µ-EC modules• Monolithic DFB arrays
Laser Sources for the 3 - 12 µm wavelength range
3. The MIR Sensor System: PICs and µ-opticsIntegrated photonics based on
• SOI waveguide platform (between 2 and 4.5 µm)• SiGe/Si waveguide platform (between 3.5 and 7.4 µm)• Ge/SiGe waveguide platform (between 7.4 and 11 µm)• µ-Optics platform (between 3 and 12 µm)• -
Including functionalities like - wavelength multiplexers- spectrometers- wavelength locker- on-chip gas cell- optical interfaces for laser / detector
Of general importance for all MIRPHAB components: • Industrialization of fabrication• Packaging and integration challenges of laser and detector chips• µ-assembly of optical components• Reliability testing in standardized fashion
Detector Structures for the 3 - 12 µm wavelength range
Various concepts based onInAsSb Detectors Type-II Superlattice (T2SL) DetectorsQuantum Cascade Detectors (QCD)
• uncooled / TE cooled operation• packaging and integration routes
e.g. direct combination of QCD / QCL • optically immersion

4. Training for Platform users
•Why is training important?• Bringing the developed processes and tools to a wider audience• Improve pick-up of project outcome by 3rd parties• Lowering access barriers for novice designers / users of the technology
•What training is needed?• Introduction for interested engineers, engineering managers (2 day)• “How to use” course for interested engineers (3 day)• In depth training for experienced engineers (5 day)
5. The MIRPHAB Consortium
Key points in the MIRPHAB strategy:• Standardization of the fabrication process• Assessment of the full supply chain• Development of novel process modules using
mixed Si/III-V technology
The main focus of the consortium is to assure manufacturability over the whole fabrication chain
