Photonic interconnect layer on silicon / Ultra low power Photonic Ics for optical interconnects sand communication networks Ghent University
Future high performance microprocessors will be confronted with a bottleneck on the datacommunication level: classical electrical interconnects will no longer suffice. To overcome this, this project will investigate an optical interconnect layer for on-chip communication. The most important component in the source, a nanolaser with minimal power consumption.
