Verification and prototypes of Opto-ULSI Processors for MicroPhotonic Applications. The aim of the program is to establish efficient linkage between Australia and Korea by stimulating research towards the rapid integration of VLSI systems into photonic components, hence creating a new platform in intelligent MicroPhotonic systems, which are core elements for future-generation reconfigurable telecommunication networks. Our ultimate target is to (1) design a low-power 256-phase Opto-ULSI processor ....Verification and prototypes of Opto-ULSI Processors for MicroPhotonic Applications. The aim of the program is to establish efficient linkage between Australia and Korea by stimulating research towards the rapid integration of VLSI systems into photonic components, hence creating a new platform in intelligent MicroPhotonic systems, which are core elements for future-generation reconfigurable telecommunication networks. Our ultimate target is to (1) design a low-power 256-phase Opto-ULSI processor, (2) experimentally verify various reconfigurable MicroPhotonic architectures for optical telecommunication applications, (3) develop efficient software for the various MicroPhotonic systems, and (4) develop and verify working prototypes.Read moreRead less
Reconfigurable MicroPhotonic Processor. This research aims to study a new reconfigurable MicroPhotonic processor capable of performing many optical functions simultaneously. In this project, research is particularly focused on reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexing (ROADM) for future Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexed (DWDM) optical networks. The significance of the MicroPhotonic architecture is that it can add/drop a single or multiple wavelength channels, and can scale to tens of chan ....Reconfigurable MicroPhotonic Processor. This research aims to study a new reconfigurable MicroPhotonic processor capable of performing many optical functions simultaneously. In this project, research is particularly focused on reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexing (ROADM) for future Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexed (DWDM) optical networks. The significance of the MicroPhotonic architecture is that it can add/drop a single or multiple wavelength channels, and can scale to tens of channels while maintaining low insertion loss and low crosstalk. The outcome will be a new reconfigurable MicroPhotonic ROADM architecture which overcomes existing scaling bottlenecks for processing hundreds of DWDM channels.Read moreRead less
