Transceivers based on quantum dash optical frequency comb sources for optical access networking

The project focuses on the design, modeling/simulation, and testing of photonic devices, and the co-design of electronicphotonic
integrated circuits, to realize transceivers that can be commercialized for use in both wireline, e.g., passive optical
networks (PONs), and wireless, e.g., 5G backhaul, access networks with an emphasis on meeting the reach requirements
for remote and underserved communities. Two interns will work with the partnering organizations—National Research
Council Canada and FONEX Data Systems, Inc.—to optimize the performance of semiconductor optical sources and develop
photonic devices and integrated circuits, as well as associated electronics, and involves empirical, experimentally-driven
research and extensive engineering design. NRC will thus be able to expand their technology portfolio and transfer
semiconductor optical sources to new industrial partners, such as FONEX, for new applications areas. FONEX will be able
to develop technologies for their service provider clients to deploy high-speed broadband services.
