High-speed bidirectional optical interconnects for board-to-board communications

该项目将通过开发创新的解决方案，直接促进澳大利亚参与各种信通技术行业，并将增加硅光子学方面的知识和技能基础。拟议的板到板高速光互连原型的开发将产生与澳大利亚公司的需求和利益相匹配的研发成果；该项目将帮助澳大利亚利用新技术，并成为下一轮ICT热潮中的重要参与者。该项目将使澳大利亚处于高速互连技术的前沿，并将通过许可技术和在澳大利亚和海外建立剥离机会来产生收入。

The project will contribute directly to Australia's participation in various ICT industries through the development of innovative solutions and will increase the knowledge and skills base in silicon-photonics. The development of the proposed board-to-board high-speed optical interconnect prototypes will result in R&D outcomes well-matched to the needs and interests of Australian companies; this project will assist Australia to capitalise on new technology and to become a significant player in the next ICT boom. This project will put Australia at the cutting edge of high-speed interconnect technology and will generate income through licensing the technology and the establishment of spin-off opportunities in both Australia and off-shore.
