Skoltech has designed and successfully tested photonic integrated circuits for the first time, capable of operating with high-frequency signals with a bandwidth of up to 22 GHz. This was reported by the university's press service.
The developers have created a photonic chip, similar to those used in broadband optical communication systems with a capacity of up to 100 Gbit/s per wavelength. These circuits have been successfully tested on fully domestic test boards, allowing operation with high-frequency signals of more than 40 GHz.
Products for high-speed data transmission can now be fully localized not only in terms of development but also in terms of production.
Currently, scientists are completing the second phase of testing to verify all the key components necessary to ensure the operation of photonic chips and stable data transmission. The development opens up new perspectives for the development of integrated photonics in Russia.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that an installation for creating chips was developed at NIITM.
