Glaucoma – Advanced, LAbel-free High resolution Automated OCT Diagnostics (GALAHAD)

Start date: Dec 1, 2016, End date: Nov 30, 2019,

The project GALAHAD targets the critical need for better glaucoma diagnostic systems. Glaucoma is an age-related major cause of blindness. The eye disease is characterized by an irreversible damage to the optic nerve head caused by increased intra-ocular pressure. The current screening and basic diagnostics for the disease involve intra-ocular pressure measurement, visual field tests and detection ...

Scalable & Low-Power Microwave Photonics for Flexible, Terabit Telecom Payloads & High-speed Coherent Inter-satellite Links (BEACON)

Start date: Oct 2, 2013, End date: Jun 1, 2017,

Telecom satellites are growing like giants employing multiple beams to provide high speed connectivity and broad coverage. Under exploding capacity requirements, vendors admit that a technology and payload architecture switch is mandatory. The new technology has to deliver practical, low-power and scalable components with high performance under harsh environment conditions. BEACON aims to provide ...

Multi-Gigabit, Scalable & Energy Efficient on-board Digital Processors Employing Multi-core, Vertical, Embedded Opto-electronic Engines (ROBIN)

Start date: Oct 2, 2013, End date: Apr 2, 2017,

New multi-beam Tera-scale capacity satellites will require a disruptive approach to address digital on-board processors that rely on electronics which consume space, power and cost and reach their capacity saturation. The disruptive solution must combine scalability, technical feasibility, power-efficiency and cost-effectiveness. ROBIN aims to provide this solution realizing multi-gigabit optical ...

HIGH-POWER PHOTONICS FOR SATELLITE LASER COMMUNICATIONS AND ON-BOARD OPTICAL PROCESSING (HIPPO)

Start date: Sep 20, 2013, End date: Apr 1, 2017,

Photonics is transforming from a highly-focused telecom technology into a pervasive “enabling” technology. Photonics has the potential to play a critical role in space missions and Europe has the opportunity to lead. In this context, HIPPO aims to lead the “high power photonics” trend and develop a new generation of high-power optical components and modules. HIPPO will do this guided by a leading ...

MId- to NEaR infrared spectroscopy for improVed medical diAgnostics (MINERVA)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

In recent years it has become clear that mid-IR imaging spectroscopy has the potential to open a new chapter in bio-medical imaging and offers an effective tool for early cancer diagnosis and improved survival rates. Rather than a search for "cancer marker" absorption peaks, great progress has been made by analysing the entire bio-molecular mid-IR spectral signature using automated algorithms. How ...

Integrated disruptive componentS for 2um fibre LAsers (ISLA)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

2-micron fibre laser technology has the potential to open a whole new area of ICT & industrial applications. The well-known power scaling advantages, from increased core size & higher non-linear thresholds, offer a tenfold increase in "raw power" compared with current 1-micron technology. Simultaneously, a host of applications specific to this almost unexplored region of the eye-safe spectrum beco ...

Photonic Advanced Research And Development for Integrated Generic Manufacturing (PARADIGM)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2015,

The objective of PARADIGM is to effect a fundamental change in the way photonic integrated circuits (PICs) based on indium phosphide (InP) are designed and manufactured in Europe, with the aim of reducing the costs of design, development and manufacture by more than an order of magnitude and making more complex and capable designs possible than ever before.The key step is to develop a generic plat ...

Integrated air quality sensor for energy efficient environment control (INTASENSE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

"Space heating accounts for more than 50% of the energy consumption of public & residential buildings, and reduction of this energy demand is a key strategy in the move to low energy/low carbon buildings. The careful management of air flow within a building forms part of this strategy through the control of inlet fresh air and exhaust air, maximising air re-circulation, and minimising the amount o ...

Leadership in Fiber Technology (LIFT)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2013,

The LIFT project will establish international leadership for Europe in the science, application and production technologies for material processing by fibre lasers through the development of innovative laser sources. Major advances beyond the state of the art are planned: The cold-ablation fibre laser, based on ultra-short pulses, will open an entirely new market (100 mill.€ p.a.) for laser proces ...

Developing aircraft photonic networks (DAPHNE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

"DAPHNE is an extensive update of the ENNET FP7-AAT-2007-RTD-1 proposal (scored 11.5: above evaluation threshold, but not retained due to budget constraints). Evaluation comments have been fully addressed; WP structure completely revised and the consortium strengthened, particularly by addition of Airbus as Technical Lead. Aircraft data networks have increased dramatically in complexity throughou ...

Materials for Robust Gallium Nitride (MORGaN)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2011,

The MORGaN project addresses the need for a new materials for electronic devices and sensors that operate in extreme conditions, especially high temperature, high electric field and highly corrosive environment. It will take advantage of the excellent physical properties of diamond and gallium nitride heterostructures. The association of the two materials will give rise to the best materials and d ...
