At Skoltech, photonic integrated circuits capable of operating with high-frequency signals with a bandwidth of up to 22 GHz have been designed and successfully tested for the first time. This was reported by the university's press service.
The developers have created a photonic chip, analogues of which are 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 that allow working with high-frequency signals above 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 needed 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 a chip creation facility was developed at NIITM.
