PhoxTroT will tackle optical interconnects in a holistic way, synergizing the different fabrication platforms in order to deploy the optimal \u201cmix&amp;match\u201d technology and tailor this to each interconnect layer. PhoxTroT will follow a layered approach from near-term exploitable to more forward looking but of high expected gain activities.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; color: #3d3e3d;\">The objective of PhoxTroT is the deployment of:<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 21pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; color: #3d3e3d;\">-<span style=\"font-size: 7pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; color: #3d3e3d;\">Generic building block that can be used for a broad range of applications, extending performance beyond Tb\/s and reducing energy by more than 50%.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 21pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; color: #3d3e3d;\">-<span style=\"font-size: 7pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; color: #3d3e3d;\">A unified integration\/packaging methodology as a cost\/energy-reduction factor for board-adaptable 3D SiP transceiver and router optochip fabrication.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 21pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; color: #3d3e3d;\">-<span style=\"font-size: 7pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; color: #3d3e3d;\">The whole \u201cfood-chain\u201d of low-cost and low-energy interconnect technologies concluding to 3 fully functional prototype systems: an &gt;1Tb\/s throughput optical PCB and &gt;50% reduced energy requirements, a high-end &gt;2Tb\/s throughput optical backplane for board-to-board interconnection, and a 1.28Tb\/s 16QAM Active Optical Cable that reduces power requirements by &gt;70%.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>","fulltext":"","state":1,"catid":"79","created":"2019-04-08 09:38:04","created_by":"57","created_by_alias":"","modified":"2019-04-08 09:38:04","modified_by":null,"checked_out":null,"checked_out_time":null,"publish_up":"2019-04-08 09:38:04","publish_down":"0000-00-00 00:00:00","images":"{\"image_intro\":\"\",\"float_intro\":\"\",\"image_intro_alt\":\"\",\"image_intro_caption\":\"\",\"image_fulltext\":\"\",\"float_fulltext\":\"\",\"image_fulltext_alt\":\"\",\"image_fulltext_caption\":\"\"}","urls":"{\"urla\":false,\"urlatext\":\"\",\"targeta\":\"\",\"urlb\":false,\"urlbtext\":\"\",\"targetb\":\"\",\"urlc\":false,\"urlctext\":\"\",\"targetc\":\"\"}","attribs":"{\"article_layout\":\"\",\"show_title\":\"\",\"link_titles\":\"\",\"show_tags\":\"\",\"show_intro\":\"\",\"info_block_position\":\"\",\"info_block_show_title\":\"\",\"show_category\":\"\",\"link_category\":\"\",\"show_parent_category\":\"\",\"link_parent_category\":\"\",\"show_associations\":\"\",\"show_author\":\"\",\"link_author\":\"\",\"show_create_date\":\"\",\"show_modify_date\":\"\",\"show_publish_date\":\"\",\"show_item_navigation\":\"\",\"show_icons\":\"\",\"show_print_icon\":\"\",\"show_email_icon\":\"\",\"show_vote\":\"\",\"show_hits\":\"\",\"show_noauth\":\"\",\"urls_position\":\"\",\"alternative_readmore\":\"\",\"article_page_title\":\"\",\"show_publishing_options\":\"\",\"show_article_options\":\"\",\"show_urls_images_backend\":\"\",\"show_urls_images_frontend\":\"\"}","version":1,"ordering":null,"metakey":"","metadesc":"","access":"1","hits":null,"metadata":"{\"robots\":\"\",\"author\":\"\",\"rights\":\"\",\"xreference\":\"\"}","featured":"0","language":"en-GB","xreference":"","note":""}
