Description

Convert and compress: on-chip photonic processing for resilient RF systems. This project aims to develop a novel radio frequency (RF) photonic signal processor harnessing integrated analogue photonic signal processing to frequency convert and compress any RF signal across the entire spectrum within the receiver amplitude and frequency range. The project will create new knowledge in on-chip nonlinear optics and photonic integration. Expected outcomes of this project are new photonic-chip based systems with unprecedented frequency range, bandwidth, speed, latency and ultra-low size, weight, and power requirements. This compact system will play a vital role for situational awareness, and high data rate communication systems for defence and civilian use-cases.. Scheme: Linkage Projects. Field: 5102 - Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics. Lead: Dr Moritz Merklein
