As part of the collaboration between WPI and Quinsigamond Community College (QCC) and engagement in the AIM Photonics Manufacturing USA Institute, the Laboratory for Education & Application Prototypes (LEAP@WPI/QCC) located in WPI’s Gateway Park contains three state-of-the-art laboratory facilities that total 2,000 sq. ft. including a 650 sq. ft. clean room. The facilities include separate laboratories for photonic integrated circuit test and characterization, photolithography and nano-3D printing prototyping, and micro to sub-nano surface metrology characterization. LEAP@WPI/QCC has a 750 sq. ft. active learning classroom/lab for courses, workforce training and outreach activities. The classroom has computers with software for simulation and design of photonic integrated circuits and other system design components.
