TAVI DFB Laser with a Higher Order Surface-Etched Grating

Optical telecommunication systems are continuously facing new challenges in terms of capacity and cost as a result of everincreasing Internet traffic. The continuing traffic growth imposes challenges associate with increasing complexity and power consumption at the network nodes and data centres, which are expected to handle more and more data. As a result, the latter require innovative approaches facilitating capacity growth at reduced energy consumption. Specifically, there is a demand for improved, more efficient lasers to be implemented with the wavelength-division multiplexing systems at the data centres and network nodes. This project’s main goal is to design a cost-efficient on-chip integrated laser that can act as an optical emitter in data centres.
