Laboratory

The state-of-the-art Rizzo Integrated Photonic Systems Laboratory will be located in Dartmouth’s $200 million, 160,000 square-foot Class of 1982 Engineering and Computer Science Center (ECSC). Scheduled for completion in February 2025, the laboratory will be outfitted with comprehensive tooling for integrated photonics test and measurement spanning visible to mid-IR wavelengths at the die- and wafer-scale. Planned equipment will additionally include high-speed instrumentation for testing data rates up to 32 Gbaud and comprehensive computational resources for photonic design and simulation.
