Project description
 

As the capacity demands for telecommunications continue to grow exponentially, the energy consumption of the network increases super-linearly with capacity. New technologies are under development, but no good design methodology exists to solve the multidisciplinary challenges. Such a new methodology will be conceived, and applied to the design of arrayed electro-optical devices that can handle multiple 10 or 25Gbit/s channels.
