Design and Experimental Demonstration of Ultrabroadband Silicon Optical Amplifiers

电子工业目前的成功依赖于硅化合物的低成本、高性能和灵活性。硅基光学为光电一体化提供了新的平台。在这个项目中，由非线性光学和硅化光子学的先驱组成的多学科团队构建了下一代宽带硅光放大器，它可以为新的低功耗、宽带、高速和超小型光电子器件打开大门。该项目带来的技术进步将为澳大利亚未来的商业投资提供关键能力，并加强澳大利亚在价值数万亿美元的半导体行业中的股份。

The current success of the electronics industry rests on pillars made from the low cost, high performance and flexibility of silicon compounds. Silicon-based optics provides a new platform for the monolithic integration of optics and electronics. In this project, a multi-disciplinary team consisting of pioneers of nonlinear optics and siliconized photonics build a next-generation broadband silicon optical amplifier which can open the door to a new low-power, wide-bandwidth, high-speed and ultra-small optoelectronic devices. The technological advances arising from this project will provide Australia with critical capabilities for future commercial ventures and strengthen Australia's stake in the multi-trillion dollar semiconductor industry.
