Funded Activity Summary
Novel silicon photonic devices harnessing new leakage behaviour. The continuing advance of microprocessor performance requires vast quantities of data to be transferred between on-chip processor cores and to the outside world. The transfer of data via metal wires cannot meet this demand due to limited bandwidth and astonishing heat generation. Low-loss photonic transport integrated onto the silicon chip offers a solution. With this project we will explore harnessing a newly discovered phenomenon in silicon photonics to achieve devices such as electrically pumped lasers and wavelength routers. The project will collaborate closely with researchers in the USA, but will focus on research of designs that can be created in Australia and licensed to major industry across the globe.Funded Activity Details
