Funded Activity Summary

Silicon All-Optical Nanophotonic Devices for 160Gb/s Systems. With the exponential growth in global bandwidth demand, the speed, cost, size, and energy requirements of telecommunications equipment are reaching a crisis point. This project will pioneer ultra-high speed silicon integrated all-optical signal processing devices that will provide faster, cheaper and more energy efficient solutions than current electronic based approaches. In doing so, this will also directly benefit the Australian photonics, telecommunications, and defence industries. It will use novel structures such as nanowire waveguides and micro-ring resonators to demonstrate all-optical signal regeneration, wavelength conversion, demultiplexing and other functions at speeds up to 160Gb/s.
