The Next-2Digits project will develop three graphene enabled applications: miniaturised light detection and ranging (LiDAR) with an integrated graphene photodetector (PD) for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV); a PIC greenhouse gas sensor offering multi-sensing capability; and an on-chip polarisation diversity receiver (PDR) with extended bandwidth and high resolution. These innovative applications will contribute to the fields of sustainable and efficient environmental monitoring and medical diagnostics, with the aim to solve application-specific challenges that hamper the wide adoption of graphene and 2D materials (2DM) in optoelectronics and sensors. The main challenge is to ensure the compatibility of the newly introduced 2DM transfer technologies with the SOI platforms and the processes involved in both the fabrication of the waveguides and the integration of the chips, while keeping the 2DM layers intact and defect-free.

Building on a decade of success, the Graphene Flagship has now continued its journey under the European Commission's Horizon Europe funding programme and in October split into a fleet of separately funded projects. Bringing together 118 academic and industrial partners in 12 research and innovation projects and one coordination and support project, the Graphene Flagship will continue to advance Europe’s strategic autonomy in technologies that rely on graphene and other 2D materials (2DM) with the common goal to commercialise graphene. The projects work on applications in key areas from composites and energy to biomedical and electronics. Fundamental work on emerging 2DM is also being addressed in our 2DM of tomorrow projects, in addition to research into health and safety, which will continue to be an integral part of the initiative.
