EuroPIC

It is the aim of the EuroPIC project to bring the application of photonic integrated micro-systems in advanced products within reach for a broad class of SMEs by reducing their required investment costs by more than an order of magnitude. This will be done by developing a knowledge-based technology for production of Indium Phosphide based Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) that will combine an increase in flexibility with a dramatic reduction of cost. It will lay the foundation for a breakthrough of PICs into a wide range of applications. more

PARADIGM

The objective of PARADIGM is to effect a fundamental change in the way photonic integrated circuits (PICs) based on indium phosphide (InP) are designed and manufactured in Europe, with the aim of reducing the costs of design, development and manufacture by more than an order of magnitude and making more complex and capable designs possible than ever before. UDE is a member of the PARADIGM user group. more

PHOMIGEN

By order of the European Space Agency ESA, UDE is developing jointly with the French THALES group the prototype of a frequency tunable photonic millimeter-wave source in the W-band (75-110 GHz). more

EU-ITN MITEPHO

MITEPHO (Microwave and Terahertz Photonics ) is an Initial Training Network (ITN) funded by the European Community's FP7 Programme. MITEPHO seeks to train European experts with backgrounds in engineering and physics in pursuing research related to photonic technologies for cw signal generation from microwave to terahertz frequencies. The network consists of five renowned Universities in Europe, two research laboratories and four industrial partners.more

EU-STReP iPHOS

Within iPHOS (Integrated photonic transceivers at sub-terahertz wave range for ultra-wideband wireless communications), University Duisburg-Essen (UDE) is studying photonic techniques and technologies for enabling future broadband radio systems operating at sub-THz carrier frequencies. The key objective of iPHOS is the development of photonic transceivers for broadband sub-THz radios. Partners are THALES Aeroportes, Alcatel-Lucent and the ACST GmbH as well as the universities in Cambridge and Madrid, the technical universities in Berlin and Eindhoven and the University College London.more

EU-NoE BONE

The BONE-project intends to validate the efforts brought together over several years within the e-Photon/ONe projects by stimulating a more intensified collaboration, exchange of researchers and building on Virtual Centres of Excellence that can serve to European industry with education & training, research tools & testlabs and pave the way to new technologies & architectures. more

European IP: IPHOBAC

IPHOBAC is developing innovative photonic components and integrated functions for millimeter-wave applications in the fields of communications, measurement equipment/instrumentation and security/radar. more
