PAssive and electro-optic polymer photonics and InP electronics iNtegration for multi-flow Terabit transceivers at edge SDN switcHes and data-centER gateways (PANTHER)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Multi-rate, multi-format and multi-reach operation of optical transceivers is important, but it is not enough for next generation terabit products. What is still missing to make these products viable is a solution for the flexible control of this enormous capacity at the optical layer and its distribution among a number of independent optical flows. PANTHER aims to provide this solution and develo ...

100 Gb/s Optical RAM on-chip:\nSilicon-based, integrated Optical RAM enabling High-Speed Applications in Computing and Communications (RAMPLAS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

For over two decades ICT witnesses the steadily increasing gap between processor and memory speed. RAM is too slow to keep up with processor speeds, creating a bottleneck in system performance. To address this, RAMPLAS will revisit RAM fundamentals and will lay the foundations for optical RAM technology and for optical RAM-enabled green and ultra-fast computing architectures. RAMPLAS will develop ...
