Low energy all-optical logic gates with improved cascadability and fan-out for future optical communications and signal processing systems

全光逻辑处理是克服高速通信网络中电子瓶颈的关键，因为单通道速度超过了电子能力。这项研究将建立和扩展澳大利亚世界领先的特种光纤和光纤设备能力，并使澳大利亚在国际全光数字信息处理竞赛中处于领先地位。高质量的研究出版物将提升澳大利亚在光子学和先进材料方面的强大研究声誉，并促进国际合作。新的光学处理能力将使其他应用领域受益，如传感和安全。

All-optical logic processing is the key to overcoming electronic bottlenecks in high-speed communication networks as single-channel speeds exceed electronic capabilities. This research will build off and extend Australia's world leading specialty fibre and fibre device capabilities and place Australia at the forefront in the international all-optical digital information-processing race. High quality research publications will enhance Australia's strong research reputation in photonics and advanced materials and promote international collaboration. New optical processing capabilities will benefit other application areas such as sensing and security.
