Research abstract
The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) recognizes the need for efficient low power high bandwidth radiation hard optoelectronics for optical intereconnects; i.e. electrical-to-optical (E/O) conversion, optical-to-electrical (O/E) conversion, and low loss optical interconnects are imperative for photonic solutions to be competitive with conventional military RF components.For the development of integrated photonic devices due to materials limitations, silicon based photonic devices have not been utilized.Addressing this problem, QuantTera will develop an electrical-to-optical and optical-to-electrical high efficiency converter technology based on the heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) device which will be demonstrated to be radiation hard.
