IST: NEWTON

Full Name: NEw Widely Tunable lasers for Optical Networks

Duration: 1/9/2001-1/3/2005 (Finished)

Partners:

IMEC - University of Gent (INTEC)- Belgium
Intune Technologies Ltd. - Ireland
Technische Universität München (Walter Schottky Institute) - Germany
Syntune - Sweden

Objective:

To develop and experimentally investigate new types of widely tunable laser diodes which are expected not to exhibit the disadvantages of existing types. A total of three new concepts for widely tunable laser diodes will be investigated in the project.

INTEC's Role:

Project coordination
Design and characterisation of new widely tunable TTG and Y-branch laser diodesDesign
Fabrication and characterisation of widely tunable ring resonator sampled grating filter
Grating fabrication for widely tunable TTG laser diode.
