Project description
Technology for the future of data centres
The rapid growth of digital technologies, cloud computing and data-intensive applications such as AI and machine learning is straining global data centres, driving energy consumption to unprecedented levels. Existing data centre infrastructure is limited by complex parallelisation and expensive components that hinder both speed and efficiency. The EIC-funded DECODE project is developing a fully integrated Phanofi chiplet, designed to work with a compact, pluggable Phanofi high-speed transceiver. Building on breakthrough Fano detector technology, this innovation will enable ultra-high-speed data processing, scalability and significantly improved performance. The project will position Europe at the forefront of semiconductor and photonics innovation, boosting competitiveness and helping to address the challenges posed by soaring data traffic.
Objective
The global data traffic within data centers is rapidly increasing due to the widespread use of digital services, cloud computing, and data-intensive applications such as AI and ML based queries, resulting in substantial energy consumption. Current transceivers used in data centers face technological limitations as they rely on complex parallelization or expensive components, hindering their ability to support higher speeds energy efficiently. Phanofi ApS offers a transformative solution to the escalating global data traffic challenges. Our patented Fano Detector technology enables utilization of intensity, phase, and polarization of light for data decoding without the need for many expensive, complex and energy intensive components required for current solutions. In our EIC Transition project, we will develop our first fully integrated Phanofi chiplet, leading to a compact & pluggable Phanofi 800G transceiver prototype. With a focus on high-speed transceivers, we will tap into a market with substantial growth potential, driven by the need to upgrade data centers and accommodate the rising demand for high-speed internet traffic. Our solution will enhance Europe's technological sovereignty in critical semiconductor and photonics sectors, reducing dependence on non-EU suppliers and position Europe at the forefront communication technologies. By enabling faster, more efficient data transmission, we support the growth of AI, machine learning, and big data analytics.
