Perform Photonic IC Measurement and Characterization in a Teaching Lab

Bridging integrated photonics theory with real-world measurement skills requires a laboratory environment where students can directly characterize photonic integrated circuits (PICs) using industry-standard optical test equipment. In photonics and semiconductor courses, students must learn to handle optical fibers, align devices on a probe station, and perform measurements such as insertion loss (IL), polarization-dependent loss (PDL), and opto-electronic responsivity. They also need to analyze device behaviors including Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZIs), ring resonators, and photodiodes under varying optical and electrical conditions. These hands-on experiments help students connect theoretical concepts—such as waveguide propagation, resonance, and polarization—with actual device performance.

Achieving this learning outcome requires a teaching platform that integrates professional photonics instrumentation, structured lab modules, and intuitive measurement software. A photonics IC measurement teaching lab enables students to perform fixed and swept-wavelength measurements, control and analyze states of polarization, and apply advanced techniques such as Mueller Matrix polarization analysis used in manufacturing environments. By combining guided experiments with real measurement workflows, universities can deliver scalable, industry-relevant education while equipping students with practical optical test and characterization skills essential for careers in integrated photonics and optical engineering
