MILLIAMP aims to develop compact, low-power semiconductor optical amplifiers for on-chip communications and neuromorphic computing, while establishing a startup and strengthening intellectual property.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Decreasing both power consumption and footprint of optoelectronic devices has been a long-term goal for nanophotonics. MILLIAMP aims at the demonstration of the proof of concept of a novel type of integrated semiconductor optical amplifiers presenting performance in terms of compactness, power consumption, and nonlinearity, fulfilling the needs for on-chip communications and all-optical neural networks. Our invention stems directly from the work achieved on nanolaser diodes integrated on Si photonic circuits during the ERC consolidator project HYPNOTIC.
Technical Activities
During the project, technical activities will be focused on the development of the device for two user cases:
- Optical regeneration of high bit rate signals
- Demonstration of a sigmoid activation function for neuromorphic computing
Portfolio Development
The device will complete the portfolio of optoelectronic nanocomponents developed in the PI's team. We aim at exploiting this technology by creating a spin-off company which will offer solutions for systems in package communications.
Objectives
MILLIAMP has the following objectives:
- Achieve a market study
- Determine a business model for the future startup
- Strengthen the intellectual property
- Establish partnerships with microelectronics companies
