As the global appetite for data increases system architects demand higher performance fromcomponent suppliers and often at reduced cost. The aim of this project is to demonstratehitherto mutually exclusive goals of low optical loss and low drive voltage for keycomponents in the transmit side of long haul fibre-optic communication links by innovativeengineering of the materials used to fabricate the transmitter components. The use of novelmaterials for these components provides systems architects with the potential for opticalfunction integration leading to small size, lower power consumption and the associatedbenefits to the environment through a reduction of raw materials and carbon footprint.

随着全球对数据需求的增加，系统架构师要求组件供应商提供更高的性能，并且通常需要降低成本。该项目的目的是通过对用于制造发射器组件的材料进行创新工程，来展示长距离光纤通信链路发射侧关键组件的低光损耗和低驱动电压这一相互排斥的目标。这些组件采用新型材料，为系统架构师提供了光学功能集成的潜力，从而缩小尺寸、降低功耗，并通过减少原材料和碳足迹，为环境带来相关效益。
