The main objective of COMPAS is to develop a compact, inexpensive and ultrasensitive PIC sensing platform (PSP) for air and water monitoring, relying on the co-integration of light source, detectors and electronic IC for on-chip signal processing. The PIC sensor principle will be based on interference between two guided light modes, one of which interacts with analytes and the other being a reference. The resulting intensity changes offers excellent sensitivity to changes in concentration of analytes in air or solution. Multiple light paths can be placed on the same device offering multi-analyte sensing in an ultracompact device. COMPAS builds a first-of-a kind fully integrated system around this principle (including light source, detectors and signal processing). The COMPAS PSP begins at TRL2 and will end with TRL5 validation in relevant environment by end-users towards air and water monitoring. The project will - Define sensing parameters for validating developed PIC Sensor Platform (PSP) towards three use-cases in relevant environments, being in line with the European Green Deal’s zero pollution ambition - Develop core photonic technology for implementing photonic based sensing. These include a novel photonic IC material system (Aliminium Nitride), BiModal waveguide interferometers that show superior temperature stability and sensitivity, novel material coating systems for enhanced sensing selectivity and innovative nano structured metasurfaces for novel mode engineering for increased sensitivity and optimized light coupling to facilitate the use of low power laser diodes. - Develop a Chiplet approach to co-integration of photonic sensor with microelectronic IC and photodetectors, and a coherent light-source. This will combine heterogeneous integration of a laser light source and monolithically integrated photodetector in the silicon base material.

Compas的主要目的是开发一个紧凑，廉价和超敏感的PIC灵敏度平台（PSP），用于空气和水监测，依靠光源，检测器和电子IC的协整进行片上信号处理。 PIC传感器原理将基于两个引导光模式之间的干扰，其中一种与分析物相互作用，另一种是参考。最终的强度变化对空气或溶液中分析物浓度的变化的变化具有出色的敏感性。可以将多个照明路径放在同一设备上，该设备可在超跨设备中提供多分析物灵敏度。 Compas围绕该原理（包括光源，检测器和信号处理）构建了一个完全集成的系统。 Compas PSP始于TRL2，最终用户对空气和水监测的相关环境中的TRL5验证将结束。该项目将 - 定义用于在相关环境中验证开发的PIC传感器平台（PSP）（PSP）的灵敏度参数，与欧洲绿色交易的零污染野心一致 - 开发用于实现基于光子传感器的核心光子技术。其中包括一种新型的光子IC材料系统（氮化烷），双峰波导干扰物，显示出较高的温度稳定性和敏感性，新型材料涂层系统，可增强灵敏度选择性和创新的Nano结构化跨度，以提高敏感性和最佳的敏感性，并提高敏感性，并提高光能的使用，以促进低功率的演讲。 - 开发一种用于将光子传感器与微电源IC和光电探测器以及一致的灯源协调的方法。这将结合激光光源的异质整合和硅碱基材料中单层整合的光电探测器。
