Next Generation Active Integrated Optic Subsystems

Ziel

We propose to develop existing integrated optical microresonator technology into a robust, densely-integrated active photonic platform, to create an optical subsystem on a chip. The subsystem will combine functions such as high-speed optical switching, modulation, and wavelength multiplexing and filtering, in a scalable manner, to eventually handle hundreds of optical information channels. These functions are becoming increasingly vital to realize fiber optic access networks that provide high-bandwidth telecommunications services to the home or desktop. By using optical microresonator technology and organic electro-optic materials large-scale photonic integration of active functions is feasible. A new generation integrated optic technology will be developed that eventually leads to low-power, highly manufacturable and hence low-cost network subsystem on a chip, which can be deployed in increasingly local optical network nodes.

OBJECTIVES
--investigate the properties of new passive as well as organic electro-optic optical materials for use in compact waveguide devices--develop software tools for design of active microresonator structures and of complex integrated optic subsystems with a large number of functional elements and apply these tools in innovative designs --using hybrid integration of passive and active materials, realise a working prototype of microresonator-based mux/demux and high-speed switch and modulator and a complete subsystem on a chip with these functions--characterise devices and modules and verify specifications--investigate/demonstrate the feasibility of a commercially viable technology platform for high bandwidth optical access networking

DESCRIPTION OF WORK
We propose to develop existing integrated optical microresonator technology into a robust, densely-integrated active photonic platform, to create an optical subsystem on a chip. The subsystem will combine functions such as high-speed optical switching, modulation, and wavelength multiplexing and filtering, in a scalable manner, to eventually handle hundreds of optical information channels. These functions are becoming increasingly vital to realize fiber optic access networks that provide high-bandwidth telecommunications services to the home or desktop. By using optical microresonator technology and organic electro-optic materials large-scale photonic integration of active functions is feasible. A new generation integrated optic technology will be developed that eventually leads to low-power, highly manufacturable and hence low-cost network subsystems on a chip, which can be deployed in increasingly local optical network nodes.For the realisation of the final deliverable, a subsystems with active functions, a chain of activities will be carried out that include the study of the materials aspects of special passive and organic electro-optic optical materials, development and application of new design tools, the technological realisation and the detailed characterisation of devices. Parallel to this activities system studies are performed in order to supply specifications and assure the relevance of the new devices and subsystems. Special attention is given to the manufacturability and a possible route to large scale, low-cost production of the proposed subsystems.
