1. Heterogeneous Technology Alliance Template HTA General Assembly November 12 – 13, 2013

2. The Heterogeneous Technology Alliance HTA Project Idea: Flexible photonics for sensing EU call: tbd Project Idea short description: Using flexible photonic components for sensing applications Short Description: In/outcoupling of light and color effects based on gratings is a well-known and established approach. With today’s available technologies of diffractive structures for light management novel features can be realized by combining light guiding structures, subwavelength structures, surface functionalization will allow the realization of new (sensing) applications. IP situation and commercial viability: A number of patent applications are in preparation Potential Applications / Applications: Diagnostics, textile applications, visual gas or liquid sensing tags or fibers Potential Consortium/Competences needed: 1) Surface structuring 2) Surface functionalization 3) Flexible photonic board development 4) Electronics/System provider 5) Assembly 6) Manufacturing 7) Enduser Contact: Marc Schnieper – CSEM, msp@csem.ch
