Descrizione del progetto
Photonic components
In recent years efforts have been made to achieve higher data rates in optical communication systems. In the IST projects FASHION and TOPRATE it has been shown that data rates of 160Gbit/s can be transmitted using Optical Time Division Multiplexing. The focus of these projects has been in the optical domain rather than realization of cost-efficient components. \tFurther IST-projects address IP-based optical networks and develop concepts for optical packet switched networks, e.g. IST-LASAGNE and IST-IP NOBEL. In optical packet networks, the next logical step after 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) is 100GbE.\tThe objective of HECTO is development of photonic components, transmitter and receiver, for high-performance and high-speed but cost-efficient communication systems. Applications are Time Division Multiplexed (TDM) optical systems with up to 160Gbit/s and optical packet networks based on serial 100GbE signals requiring about 110Gbit/s.\tTransmitters will be developed with Traveling-Wave Electro-Absorption Modulators with bandwidths of 100GHz or more, integrated with continuous-wave lasers. Electronic driver amplifiers and multiplexers will be developed for the connection between the modulators and external electronics at lower speeds.\tReceivers with bandwidths of 100GHz and above will be developed with waveguide pin diodes integrated with electronic amplifiers, and the required high-speed electronics for electrical clock recovery and demultiplexing to lower speeds. \tThe components will be tested in systems experiments. To ensure that they will meet the demands of the future market, a techno-economic study will accompany the technical investigation and development. \tThe HECTO project will allow European companies to gain share in the increasingly competitive photonic component and packet switching market. HECTO will form a basis for cost-efficient extension of European networks, and the introduction of end-to-end broadband services for all European citizens.
