Global IP traffic continues to grow. A significant portion of future growth will come via mobile platforms, namely smart phones and tablets. Applications driving requirements for increased capacity include (i) video streaming services, (ii) cloud based storage and services, and (iii) machine-to-machine applications. Most Internet traffic has originated or terminated in data centers (DCs) since 2008, when peer-to-peer traffic ceased to dominate the Internet application space. As a result DC transmission systems are experiencing unprecedented increases in traffic. Since 2013 intra-DC traffic has grown by 80% and because 75% of the data that involves a DC stays within the DC, the compound annual growth rates for the next three years are projected to be 24%. To meet this growth optical transmission systems that deliver bit rates of 400 Gb/s and 1.6 Tb/s **per-carrier, operating over distances from 500 m to 40 km are needed. The proposed research represents a strategic collaboration between D. Plant/McGill University and Ericsson that is directed at key challenges in DC communications, namely (i) increasing the capacity and spectral efficiency of intra- and inter-DC optical transmission systems, and (ii) **developing enabling integrated and low power silicon photonic technologies. The proposed research involves design, analysis, simulation and experimentation, and intersects the fields of optics, optoelectronics, electronics, and signal processing. It will be performed by two M.Eng., three Ph.D. students, and two PDFs who will receive training that is highly valuable to Canadian Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) sector employers including optical **component suppliers, optical networking companies, wireless networking companies, and service providers.**

全球IP流量持续增长。未来增长的很大一部分将来自移动的平台，即智能手机和平板电脑。驱动对增加容量的需求的应用包括（i）视频流服务，（ii）基于云的存储和服务，以及（iii）机器对机器应用。自2008年以来，大多数互联网流量都起源于或终止于数据中心（DC），当时点对点流量不再主导互联网应用空间。因此，直流输电系统的业务量正在经历前所未有的增长。自2013年以来，数据中心内的流量增长了80%，由于涉及数据中心的数据中有75%停留在数据中心内，因此未来三年的复合年增长率预计为24%。 为了满足这种增长，需要提供每载波400 Gb/s和1.6 Tb/s ** 的比特率、在500 m至40 km的距离上运行的光传输系统。这项研究是D. Plant/麦吉尔University和爱立信合作，旨在应对DC通信领域的关键挑战，即（i）提高DC内和DC间光传输系统的容量和频谱效率，以及（ii）** 开发集成和低功耗硅光子技术。所提出的研究涉及设计，分析，仿真和实验，并交叉光学，光电子学，电子学和信号处理领域。将由两名工程硕士执行，三个博士学生和两名PDF，他们将接受对加拿大信息和通信技术（ICT）行业雇主非常有价值的培训，包括光学 ** 组件供应商，光学网络公司，无线网络公司和服务提供商。
