Integrated Reconfigurable silicon photonic based optical Switch (IRIS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

IRIS aims at fabricating a highly integrated, scalable, transparent and high capacity WDM Photonic Switch used as an Transponder Aggregator (TPA),a novel function which will be added to existing ROADM nodes without disrupting their architecture while adding attributes such as colourless, directionless and contentionless. For Metro networks, this switch will provide flexibility, energy efficiency, ...

Integrated SYsteM based on PHOtonic Microresonators and Microfluidic Components for rapid detectioN of toxins in milk and dairY products (SYMPHONY)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

In the milk industry, one of most pressing unmet needs is the timely detection of mycotoxins that originate from animal feed and are secreted into milk. In particular, milk and dairy products can be contaminated by aflatoxin M1, a potent carcinogen. The aflatoxin contamination represents a hazard for human health and an economic loss for the dairy industry. The available technology for aflatoxin d ...

A highly integrated and sensitive PORous SIlicon based lab on a chip for multiple quantitaTIVE monitoring of Food allergies at point of care (Positive)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

By integrating and interfacing multiple core technologies and related materials from fluidics and photonics technology to porous silicon (porSi) and polymers, Positive will target the implementation of a microsystem tailored to a specific application with a key societal and economic need. The very high surface to volume ratio of porSi permits very high surface densities of bound antibody-antigen c ...

Active and Passive Photonics with Coupled Optomechanical Resonators (APPCOPTOR)

Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2013,

"Manipulation of the matter properties with radiation pressure (optical) forces is one of the high-impact topics in the multidisciplinary area of Photonics. In a photonic system often the optical and mechanical modes can effectively couple giving birth to novel fascinating phenomena described through a new discipline - Optomechanics. In this context, in a system of coupled circular resonators, of ...

Improve Photovoltaic efficiency by applying novel effects at the limits of light to matter interaction (LIMA)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

The LIMA project exploits cutting edge photonic technologies to enhance silicon solar cell efficiencies with new concepts in nanostructured materials. It proposes nano-structured surface layers designed to increase light absorption in the solar cell while decreasing surface and interface recombination loss. Integration in a back contact design further reduces these interface losses and avoids s ...
