NOTABLE - Novel Optical Technology to Accelerate Broadband Lightwave Equipment

互联网改变了我们做生意、娱乐、社交和生活方式的方式。所有这些应用都是由可以在全球范围内传输数据的先进光网络支撑的。然而，为了应对新的应用、每个用户更高的带宽和不断增长的用户数量，该网络需要新的技术解决方案来支持这种增长。目前的电子设备能力有限，为了使光网络提供所需的数据容量（每秒太比特），需要新的光波技术。该项目旨在设计新颖的光学技术，不仅可以处理这些巨大的数据速率，还可以同时减少当今产品的尺寸，成本和功耗。这一突破对于互联网未来的发展是必要的，因此为拥有这些市场领先技术的公司提供了巨大的商机。

The internet has transformed the way we do business, entertainment, social interactions andlifestyle. All of these applications are underpinned by an advanced optical network that cantransmit data over a global scale. However, in order to cope with new applications, higherbandwidths per user and a growing number of users, this network needs new technologysolutions in order to support this growth. The current electronic equipment is limited incapacity and new lightwave technologies are needed in order for optical networks to deliverthe required data capacities (Terabits per second). This project aims to design novel opticaltechnologies that can not only handle these massive data rates but also simultaneously reducethe size, cost and power consumption of today's products. This breakthrough is necessary inorder for the internet to grow in the future, and so presents a huge business opportunity forcompanies with these market-leading technologies.
