COST 268 Wavelength Scale Photonic Components for TelecommunicationsFinal report presentationAnders Karlsson, Chairman Dep. Microelectronics & Kista Photonics Research Center Royal Institute of Technology-KTH, Kista, Sweden
Outline • COST 268 scientific background • COST 268 accomplishments • COST 268 ”offsprings”- new COST proposals & FP6 EoI
Photonics & market? http://www.lightreading.com/ IT backlash has hit photonics But, only photonics can provide long terminfrastructure recovery when? Flexibleall-opticalnetwork Nasdaq 10 optical companies
COST 268 foresight… • What is seen today: • VCSELs dominating for datacom(VCSEL= Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) • LW VCSELs for access network • High refractive index contrast & photonic crystals for integrated optics • Novel gain materials for new wavelengths => new applications Wavelength Scale Photonics - Reduced power consumption - Potentially low cost - Increased device speed - Higher level of integration Photonic R&D gives huge paybacks Swedish VINNOVA agency:- IT, Telecom and biotech R&D =>10-30 time return over 5-10 years
Our aim:“to investigate and promote the use of (optical) wavelength scale photonics in telecommunications” • Our work:- work on joint technical topics, discussed in WG sessions - sponsor “short term missions”- arrange or co-assist with workshops - assist with coordination and dissemination of research COST 268 in brief
