This solution brief presents a ready-to-deploy teaching platform that combines photonic integrated circuit theory with hands-on measurement experience. Six structured lab modules cover probe-station operation, fiber alignment, fixed and swept-wavelength insertion loss, waveguide cutback measurements, Mach-Zehnder interferometers, ring resonators, polarization control, Poincaré sphere analysis, Mueller matrix and All-States PDL techniques, and PIN photodiode responsivity and dark current. The recommended system includes Keysight swept-wavelength sources, optical power meters, a polarization analyzer, precision SMU, photonics software, editable lab sheets, and a PIC device. Universities can deploy a single workstation or scale to a full teaching laboratory, while students gain skills aligned
