Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This project seeks to utilise the GaAs-substrate-based GaInNAs alloy material system to develop novel semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA's) and distributed feedback (DFB) amplifier structures for the 1.3 - 1.6um wavelength range. It seeks furthermore to demonstrate advanced perfomance and/or functionality wavelength conversion modules based on this technology for next-generation WDM telecommunications. In so doing, the project will combine the University of Strathclyde's core know-how in GaInNAs materials science and device design with Kamelian's expertise in network design and device technology to directly develop a novel device portfolio in an area of great commercial potential. The work to be undertaken will play a critical role in securing core IP in this area, and is expected to bring wide benefits to the UK as Kamelian establishes its commercial links to other UK-based organisations.
