  1. WP-VD-H Home Networks and Other Short-Reach NetworksFinal Review MeetingBrussels, 22 April 2008 Speaker: Josep Prat Institution: UPC

  2. WP-VD-H: ”Home Networks and Other Short-Reach Networks” ScopeCreation of a Virtual Department that will integrate and promote the research activity in the broad area of design and analysis of home and short-reach networks. LeaderDieter Jäger (UDE)Roberto Gaudino (PoliTo) Advisory BoardJosé Capmany (UPVLC), Robert Gaudino (PoliTo), Stéphane Gosselin (FT), Dieter Jäger (UDE), Ton Koonen (TU/e), Adam Wolisz (TUB) Partners involved in joint activitiesFT, FUB, GET, ISCOM, PoliTo, TU/e, UC3M, UCL, UDE, UEssex, UoA, UPVLC,

  10. …Details on Specific Achievements… New models forpropagation through multimode fibres (UDE-UPVLC) • Analytical, system-oriented models compared to experimental measurements

  11. …Details on Specific Achievements… Radio over Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) (UDE) • Development and characterization of specific components

  12. …Details on Specific Achievements Fiber sensors for the home environment (UC3M) • Development and characterization of optical sensors for in-house applications Fig. 3 Temperature Dependent PD Response

  13. Main Achievements • N° of meetings and workhops: • 6 meetings organized in the framework of VD-H • Participation in more than 12 other meetings • N° of joint papers: 4 • N° of public deliverables: 4 • N° of joint project proposals: 4 • Shared infrastructures: none • N° of mobility actions: 5

  14. Planned/Actual Comparison… Research directions related to home networks (plan of 2006 := addressed and completed as planned) • Low cost and low power devices and components  • Multifunctional devices (such as EATs)  • High speed and high efficiency LEDs (planned, new project) • Devices for multimode applications  • Silicon photonic components (e. g. photodiode, modulator) (preliminary) • Microwave/Millimeter wave photonic components (new projects) • Packaging and motherboard techniques (Si, LTCC, SOI) • Remote (optical) powering • Reliable POF cables (influence of temperature, mechanical stress) (partly) • Interface to residential gateway (FTTx) ─ • Radio-over-fiber and UWB techniques (using MM and POF)  • Low cost integrated base stations (planned, concepts available) • User requirements on “Intelligent homes”/”ambient intelligence” 

  15. … Planned/Actual Comparison Opportunities to internationally cooperate on home networks: • Development of polymer optical fibers (POFs) with low attenuation ─ • Efficient sources and receivers for POFs at given wavelengths (new project) • Multifunctional components/modules and their integration  • CMOS compatible Si optoelectronics incl. SOI techniques (preliminary) • Hybrid integration and packaging for mass production ─ • Strategies in optical signal processing and computing ─ • Optic and optoelectronic design (optoelectronic CAD) (partly) • Network simulation ─ • Applications: Entertainment, communication, automation, security, … /market trends  • International cooperation using strategic networks (PTAP program of OIDA including OITDA, EPIC and ICOIA) 

  16. Final Comments… • The area covered by VD-H is relatively new and, as such, researches around it is still quite heterogeneous • After a relatively slow start, we managed to gather around VD-H a critical mass of researchers working on short reach optical network, transmission and components

  17. …Final Comments • During the period of this e-Photon/ONe+, Home and Short-Reach Network have gathered increased interest in all fields of communication technology • Some operator research centers, such as FT, are envisioning “optical backbones” inside our apartments: • Plastic Optical Fibre to provide a point to point architecture suitable for already constructed houses where the installation of a new cable can be performed by the user itself • Silica Fibre infrastructure for new houses where the optical cables will be installed in ducts running in the walls at construction time.
