Research abstract
Statement of the problem addressed by proposal: Freedom Photonics proposes to develop custom Photonic ICs to allow for dynamic optical packet-switched Tbps optical networks for supercomputers, LAN or data center applications.
General statement of how this problem is being addressed: The problem is being addressed through fast-tunable transmitters and optical burst mode receivers.
What is to be done in Phase I?: Phase I will address the network design, device design and key technology demonstrations, preparing the ground and removing risk for Phase II.
Commercial Applications and Other Benefits: The transceivers developed have wide commercial applications in data center and telecom markets.
Key Words: Optical Packet Switching, tunable transceivers, optical receivers.
Summary for Members of Congress: New optical networks used in supercomputers and data centers require
