SPOKE 1 – PERVASIVE AND PHOTONIC NETWORK TECHNOLOGIES AND INFRASTRUCTURES

Objectives:

  • Delivering innovative solutions for pervasive networking, addressing primarily the “edge and beyond-edge”segments of the Internet
  • Delivering radically new technologies and paradigms for ultra-fast optical transport in the metro-core network
  • Developing of programmable, green, and ultra-fast interconnections between sites supported by optical transport
  • Design and fabrication of novel components and photonic integrated circuits for the optical networks domain

Structural projects:

  • RIGOLETTO – Green autonomic optical networks, systems and integrated devices
  • PESCO – Pervasive communications

 Focused projects:

  • ELENE – Lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) nonlinear photonics for communications
  • GrapHICS – Graphene/a-Si:H photonic Integrated Circuits
  • HePIC – A Heterogeneous Photonic Integration platform for future telecommunications devices
  • SENSING NET Introducing SENSING capabilities in deployed TLC fiber NETworks
