The goal of this research project is to lay the foundations of an enduring industry-academy collaborative relationship through the engagement of the respective teams in a first study for expanding the simulation capabilities of the existing models for semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). These devices are one of the most important components in the deployment of broadband photonic networks; they have made possible a variety of all-optical applications due to the fast dynamics and non-linear response of their material composition, in addition to their small size, relatively low cost and low energy consumption. The research is innovative because it aims to solve the lack of existing software capabilities to model and simulate the ultra-fast and large signal dynamics of bulk SOA devices. The project is also ambitious because it aims to lay the theoretical and practical foundations to model and simulate SOAs based on state-of-the-art quantum dot (QD) structures, which provide an improved performance relative to their bulk counterpart. The outcomes of this research will provide the industry partner with the algorithms and software code to be integrated in their current software platform, creating an opportunity for a Canada-based enterprise to strengthen its position in the global marketplace. This project will develop highly qualified and skilled personnel, benefiting from an environment enriched by an industrial dimension, promoting effective knowledge transfer to industry and helping them fill their employment needs.

该研究项目的目标是通过各自团队参与第一项研究，为半导体光放大器（SOA）现有模型的仿真能力奠定持久的行业-学术合作关系的基础。这些器件是宽带光子网络部署中最重要的组件之一;由于其材料组成的快速动态和非线性响应，以及它们的小尺寸，相对低的成本和低能耗，它们使各种全光应用成为可能。这项研究是创新的，因为它旨在解决现有软件能力的缺乏，以建模和模拟批量SOA设备的超快和大信号动态。该项目也是雄心勃勃的，因为它旨在为基于最先进的量子点（QD）结构的SOA建模和模拟奠定理论和实践基础，这些结构相对于其散装对应物提供了更好的性能。这项研究的成果将为行业合作伙伴提供集成到其当前软件平台中的算法和软件代码，为加拿大企业加强其在全球市场中的地位创造机会。该项目将培养高素质和高技能的人才，受益于工业层面丰富的环境，促进向工业界有效转让知识，并帮助他们满足就业需求。
