Self-configurable optical links

Novel electronic chips could be a cost-effective solution to the electronic bottleneck between data servers and computers. Advanced elec- tronics strengthen optical technologies to address the challenge.
Project description

The project develops self-configuring optical connections that can replace electrical connections in servers and routers. The new technology reduces the need for time-consuming and expensive testing, thus allowing energy-efficient solutions to become markedly cheaper and thus competitive with electrical connections.
