Information processing with Neuromorphic PHOtonic chip for TELecom Ghent University
We will demonstrate a neuromorphic photonic chip for ultrafast and low-power optical processing of corrupted telecom signals. We remove nonlinear distortions in fiber optic links. In addition, we will improve our in-house photonic chip design optimization software for user-friendliness and write up a user-manual.
5th GeneratiOn Security for Telecom Services KU Leuven
5GhOSTS (5th GeneratiOn Security for Telecom Services) will analyze and improve the security of service-based implementations of 5G networks, relevant to protect the EU’s critical communication infrastructure. Based on the upcoming service-based architecture for 5G by the 3GPP, which includes virtualization of network functions, 5GhOSTS aims to strengthen the security of light-weight virtualization. State-of-the-art technologies in this field ...
Integration of novel thin films with photonic circuits for telecom, quantum optics and neuromorphic computing Ghent University
To unlock a new range of possibilities on photonic chips, one must be able to integrate special materials with particular properties into such chips. Building upon the expertise in material deposition at UGent, this proposal will investigate novel deposition methods of such materials. Especially in high-speed communication, neuromorphic computing and single photon generators, this will unlock unprecedented possibilities
Integrated III-V-on-silicon-nitride mode-locked lasers for frequency comb generation in telecom and frequency metrology applications Ghent University
Optical frequency combs have become a cornerstone of frequency metrology and are now available as commercial systems based on pulsed fiber lasers. Since the Nobel prize in physics was awarded to John L. Hall and Theodor W. Hänsch in 2006, the application space for optical frequency combs has dramatically increased. The use of these combs is currently being studied for the use in ultra-fast acquisition molecular spectroscopy, high-speed and ...
