Project description
Optical, opto-electronic, photonic functional components
WAPITI`s vision is the development/realisation settlement of a novel technology and its implementation in a new mesoscopic device generation that will enable crucial miniaturisation and cost reduction. WAPITI has identified waferbonding as the ideal/appropriate technology for the realisation of optical microcircuits integrating passive photonic / active optoelectronical and active photonic driven building blocks for novel functionalities and microsystems. WAPITI will demonstrate the potential and versatility of the technology in microring resonator building blocks in InGaAsP/InP bonded on GaAs wafers by realising ultra compact devices for MAN data rates: compact bus integrated microring WDM-lasers (1), high efficiency all-optical wavelength converters (2), and advanced multifunctional devices (3). (1) WDM lasers multiplexed in single mode waveguide technology (transparent bus waveguides) are a key building block for SDH/SONET and 2.5/10 GbE applications in the high volume MAN market. Attention will mainly be focussed on obtaining a small die footprint as this is the most crucial cost driving factor. (2) All-optical wavelength converters are key components in future versatile optical networks. WAPITI particularly aims to realise efficient wavelength converters based on novel passive bus/active microring architectures. (3) Furthermore, WAPITI will investigate, theoretically and experimentally, the possibility of realizing advanced functionalities (e.g. chromatic dispersion compensators, all-optical logic, optical mm wave generation) using the integrated microring structures. The device development will be supplemented by rigorous modelling and device analysis for component optimisation and exploitation purposes.
