Funded Activity Summary

Polymer Band Gap Engineering. The development of fibre optic communication networks has enabled the provision of low cost long-distance telephony and the dramatic growth of the Internet. This project aims to develop polymeric materials that receive optical signals in the telecommunications (near IR) band. Such a capability would allow RPO to build low cost power monitoring into all its integrated optical devices and would massively enhance its market opportunities and chances of growth. Furthermore, this project lays the foundations for the development of an all-polymer optical chip, whose cost savings over the current technological strategies would revolutionise the photonics and information technology sector.
