Photonics has transformed into an enabling platform technology with application into industrial processing, communications, sensing and life sciences. Fiber-optics can offer reduced mass, volume, lower power consumption, immunity to EMI in communication and sensing systems. Specifically in the context of communications, laser-based data links are high-speed, inherently secure, immune to jamming and spoofing, and no license is required for accessing the spectrum. Photonics is expected to play a key role in terrestrial, aerospace and space markets, as fiber-optics penetrates into field-deployed systems, UAV, aircraft and satellite payloads for telecommunication or sensing. These systems require ruggedized photonic components and modules qualified against stringent requirements in terms of thermal, vibration and shock levels in order to guarantee performance over the product lifetime. The project will focus on the design, development and commercialization of miniaturized, cost-effective and high-performance components and sub-systems, suitable for realizing key functions such as generation amplification and reception of light signals within a terrestrial, satellite or aerial platforms, advancing the state of the art with respect to footprint, bit-rate, functionality and power efficiency.

光子学已经转变为一种使能平台技术，应用于工业处理，通信，传感和生命科学。光纤可以在通信和传感系统中提供减小的质量、体积、较低的功耗、对EMI的免疫力。特别是在通信方面，基于激光的数据链路是高速的，固有的安全性，不受干扰和欺骗，并且不需要许可证就可以访问频谱。预计光子学将在陆地，航空航天和太空市场中发挥关键作用，因为光纤渗透到现场部署的系统，无人机，飞机和卫星有效载荷，用于电信或传感。这些系统需要坚固耐用的光子元件和模块，以满足在热、振动和冲击水平方面的严格要求，从而保证产品寿命期间的性能。该项目将专注于小型化，高性价比和高性能组件和子系统的设计，开发和商业化，适用于实现地面，卫星或空中平台内光信号的生成，放大和接收等关键功能，推进最先进的足迹，比特率，功能和功率效率。
