Project description Photonics Show the project objective Hide the project objective IPHOBAC-NG addresses application-specific lasers, optical modulators and detectors to construct novel photonic millimeter-wave radios (PMWR) providing a) complementary broadband 1-10 Gb/s wireless access and b) 3 Gb/s mobile backhaul; both being seamlessly integrated in next generation optical access (NGOA) networks based upon a WDM-PON infrastructure. The proposed PMWR will employ novel radio access units (RAU) featuring direct optic-to-wireless and wireless-to-optic conversion. The consortium will realize these functions for enabling a seamless interfacing of the wireless domain with the optical network infrastructure. IPHOBAC-NG will achieve its challenging targets by developing the following application-specific integrated photonic components:a) Integrated coherent heterodyne 70/80 GHz photoreceivers (Pout>3 dBm, S>0.5 A/W) b) Low-linewidth (100 kHz) frequency-agile (>3 nm) wavelength tunable lasersc) High-frequency (70/80 GHz), high-efficient (>0.5 A/W), high-power (>+3 dBm) photodiodesd) High-frequency (70/80 GHz), high output power (>+17 dBm) amplifier The proposed components and RAU concept will allow seamless integration of the radio head-ends into WDM and even ultra-dense WDM PON access networks because it will exploit the following:a) coherent detection to enable high sensitivity, dense WDM, and direct wireless-to-optic conversion with practically no latencies b) electronic signal processing to be centralized in the OLT to mitigate for distortions due to cost optimized components and to allow for spectrally efficient modulation formats; avoiding DSPs in the RAU for energy-efficiency and cost reasonsc) photonic integrated circuits to bring the relatively complex optics into a cost position suitable for the access market. If successful, IPHOBAC-NG will reinforce European industrial leadership, competitiveness and market share especially in fields of photonic components, photonic integration, as well as in optical and wireless communications Fields of science engineering and technologyelectrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineeringelectronic engineeringsignal processingengineering and technologyelectrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineeringinformation engineeringtelecommunicationstelecommunications networksoptical networksengineering and technologyelectrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineeringinformation engineeringtelecommunicationsradio technologynatural sciencesphysical sciencesopticslaser physics Programme(s) FP7-ICT - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Information and communication technologies Topic(s) ICT-2013.3.2 - Photonics Call for proposal FP7-ICT-2013-11 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme CP - Collaborative project (generic) Coordinator UNIVERSITAET DUISBURG-ESSEN EU contribution € 481 113,00 Address UNIVERSITATSSTRASSE 2 45141 Essen Germany See on map Region Nordrhein-Westfalen Düsseldorf Essen, Kreisfreie Stadt Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Andreas Stoehr (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data Participants (7) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all FINISAR GERMANY GMBH Germany EU contribution € 398 584,00 Address REUCHLINSTRASSE 10/11 10553 Berlin See on map Region Berlin Berlin Berlin Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Andreas Steffan (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data DANMARKS TEKNISKE UNIVERSITET Denmark EU contribution € 367 864,00 Address ANKER ENGELUNDS VEJ 101 2800 Kongens Lyngby See on map Region Danmark Hovedstaden Københavns omegn Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Idelfonso Tafur Monroy (Prof.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data III-V LAB France EU contribution € 453 279,00 Address 1 AVENUE AUGUSTIN FRESNEL CAMPUS POLYTECHNIQUE 91767 Palaiseau Cedex See on map Region Ile-de-France Ile-de-France Essonne Activity type Other Administrative Contact Denis MAZEROLLE (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data SIKLU COMMUNICATION LTD Israel EU contribution € 373 975,00 Address HASIVIM STREET 43 49517 Petach Tikwa See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Yigal Leiba (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Total cost No data ORANGE POLSKA SPOLKA AKCYJNA Poland EU contribution € 169 878,00 Address AL ALEJE JEROZOLIMSKIE 160 02 326 Warszawa See on map Region Makroregion województwo mazowieckie Warszawski stołeczny Miasto Warszawa Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Katarzyna Barska (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON EU contribution € 448 580,00 Address GOWER STREET WC1E 6BT LONDON See on map Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Giles Machell (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data AXENIC LIMITED United Kingdom EU contribution € 346 727,00 Address THOMAS WRIGHT WAY NETPARK INCUBATOR TS21 3FD Sedgefield Durham Cleveland See on map Region North East (England) Tees Valley and Durham Durham CC Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Steve Clements (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Total cost No data
