RadiOptics - EXIST Business Start-up Grant: RadiOptics

The goal of the RadiOptics project is to commercialize the next generation of microwave signal generators using a mode-locked laser (MLL). MLLs can generate a low-noise optical reference clock which have better precision in time unit measurement by orders of magnitude. The optical pulses of MLLs, however, cannot simply be used in a conventional ...

FOR 2863: MEtrology for TERAhertz COMmunication (Meteracom)

For the advance of THz communication systems, the capability to perform precise measurements is crucial. Metrology at THz frequencies is however still in its infancy and as of today it only covers detector calibration for characterization of ultrafast devices and measurement uncertainty analysis of different spectrometer types available at THz ...

Monolithically Integrated Opto-Electronic Frequency Synthesizer in Silicon Photonics

Low jitter signal sources are in widespread use for object detection, navigation systems, and ultra-high speed data communication systems. The jitter of the signal sources is dominated by the reference signal source which is a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) or a quartz oscillator. While these reference oscillators are standard for communication ...
