This project aims to create a new class of integrated microwave information processors on a single optical chip. Using electro-acoustic coupling in semiconductors, we expect to reduce optical power requirements hundredfold, enabling the emergence of practically deployable processors using ordinary telecom lasers. The expected project outcomes are inexpensive, compact, stable and energy efficient microwave photonic processors, a key requirement for reference standards and precision measurements of time and frequency. This technology has the potential to create a multitude of opportunities for commercial development in the fields of defence, information security, autonomous vehicles, sensing, and ultra-high bandwidth mobile communications.

该项目旨在在单个光学芯片上创建新型集成微波信息处理器。利用半导体中的电声耦合，我们预计将光功率需求降低一百倍，从而使使用普通电信激光器的实际可部署处理器能够出现。预期的项目成果是廉价，紧凑，稳定和节能的微波光子处理器，这是参考标准和时间和频率精确测量的关键要求。这项技术有可能在国防、信息安全、自动驾驶汽车、传感和超高带宽移动的通信领域创造大量商业发展机会。
