📋 Tender Overview
On-Chip Electronics, Photonics, Plasmonics And Antennas: A Novel Enabling Platform For Sub-Thz Signal Processing
Taking Thz Signal Processing To A Whole New Levelas A Key Enabler For Future-Generation Wireless Communication Systems, Terahertz (Thz)-Band Communications Are In The Spotlight. The Thz Range Has Tremendous Untapped Potential For A Breadth Of Applications, Such As Next-Generation Wireless Communications, Sensing, Security, Medical Imaging And More. The Eu-Funded Elephant Project Will Move Away From Today’S Electronic–Photonic Platforms To Create A Novel Integrated Platform That Enables Flexible, Low-Loss Thz Transport And Processing In The Optical Domain, Allowing The Low-Loss Transport Of Thz Frequencies Over Large Distances. The Project Builds On Previous Cutting-Edge Results On Photonic Signal Processing Blocks With Thz Bandwidths Using Compact (10S ?m-Long) Silicon Photonics Nanowires As Well As The Recent Demonstration Of Plasmonic Modulators Offering 500 Ghz Speeds, The Fastest To Date.
