DESCRIPTION

This project aims at providing a novel technology for telecom applications that combines the advantages of the present technologies on the same chip. It proposes a radically new mass-fabrication technique of high-refractive-index, high-heat-conductivity, amorphous and crystalline oxide materials, which includes nano-localized active doping. It investigates a reliable parallel processing technology for high-quality nano-scale structures in these materials in order to produce functional nano-photonic devices based on Bragg gratings, ring resonators, power splitters, amplifiers and lasers for future use in optical access networks. It includes active functionality like light generation and amplification, still missing in today's Si-based technologies.
