Future economical development and social well-being of our information-based society depend critically onavailability of ubiquitous, broadband, and secure networks. Fiber-optic transmission is the ideal technology torealize such networks to push the bandwidth and accessibility limits for new applications. The emergingfiber-to-the-premise (FTTP) optical access market presents not only an exceptional opportunity but alsosignificant challenges. The major barrier to widespread deployment of optical transmission technologies inaccess applications is the relative high cost of the optoelectronic devices and subsystems. The proposedresearch addresses the need for low-cost and high-performance optical access technologies through innovativedesigns. The research brings together a group of excellent researchers with diversified and complementary expertisewith one clear focus: to conduct leading-edge research towards realizing cheaper, smarter, and betteroptoelectronic devices and subsystems for optical access networks. The research will be on the development ofnew concepts and designs for key optoelectronic devices and subsystems with consideration for interplaysbetween device physics and system performance and balance between performance and cost. The project willleverage on close collaboration with Canadian supporting organizations and international collaborators fordevice fabrication and system applications.The proposed research, if successful, will generate new scientific knowledge and disruptive technology withthe strong potential for applications and commercialization. The technologies can offer significant competitiveadvantages to the Canadian companies with advanced engineering and manufacturing capabilities to competewith the traditional low-cost and labor-intensive players in the global optical access market.

信息化社会的未来经济发展和社会福祉关键取决于无处不在、宽带和安全的网络的可用性。光纤传输是实现这种网络的理想技术，可以推动新应用的带宽和可访问性限制。新兴的光纤到户（FTTP）光接入市场不仅带来了难得的机遇，也带来了巨大的挑战。在接入应用中广泛部署光传输技术的主要障碍是光电子设备和子系统的相对较高的成本。提出的研究通过创新设计解决了对低成本和高性能光接入技术的需求。该研究汇集了一批具有多元化和互补专业知识的优秀研究人员，重点是：进行前沿研究，实现更便宜，更智能，更好的光接入网络电子设备和子系统。该研究将是对新的概念和设计的关键光电器件和子系统的发展与器件物理和系统性能之间的相互作用和性能和成本之间的平衡考虑.该项目将利用与加拿大支持组织和国际合作者的密切合作来进行设备制造和系统应用。拟议的研究如果成功，将产生新的科学知识和具有强大应用和商业化潜力的颠覆性技术。这些技术可以为拥有先进工程和制造能力的加拿大公司提供显著的竞争优势，以与全球光接入市场上的传统低成本和劳动密集型企业竞争。
