➀ Researchers at EPFL and IBM Research Europe have developed a novel optical amplifier using gallium phosphide-on-silicon dioxide technology, which achieves unprecedented broadband signal amplification in a compact photonic chip.

➁ The traveling-wave parametric amplifier (TWPA) demonstrates over 10 dB of gain across a 140 nm bandwidth, surpassing traditional erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs).

➂ This breakthrough in optical amplification holds potential applications in data centers, AI processors, high-performance computing, and even autonomous vehicle LiDAR systems.

➀ ETH Zürich researchers have developed an ultra-wideband MHz to THz plasmonic EO modulator that achieves terahertz data transmission;

➁ The modulator can convert data signals with frequencies above 1 Terahertz efficiently into optical signals for transmission through fiber optic networks;

➂ The technology could have applications in 6G mobile networks, medical imaging, material analysis, and high-performance measurement technology.

Fraunhofer researchers, in collaboration with partners, have optimized data transmission in fiber optic networks using smart techniques. Optical switches with liquid crystal mirrors reduce data packets, allowing more data to pass through the network. Additionally, splitting signals across various fiber strands creates more flexibility.

The project WESORAM has developed a technology that allows signals from eight input channels to be sent to 16 output channels, increasing network capacity and flexibility. The research also includes the development of signal amplifiers for multi-core fibers, enhancing data transmission capabilities.

Both projects are supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the VDI (Association of German Engineers).
