The European Conference and Exhibition on Optical Communication (ECOC 2010) featured eco-friendly and endurable technologies to develop photonic components for high-speed networks in the future.
As the need for hi-speed networking is growing exponentially, telecom operators are demanding environment friendly products and technologies to offset the negative impact of technology on the environment. CIP Technologies announced that large industrial organizations and its officials presented ideas to remove or minimize the temperature control requirement in photonic components at central offices and data centres.
The 36th ECOC 2010 was conducted in Turin, Italy. The 7th Framework Program of the European Union includes two projects. These projects are BIANCHO (Bismide And Nitride Components for High-Temperature Operation) and C3PO (Colorless and Coolerless Components for low Power Optical Networks).
The objective of C3PO project is to encourage reflective photonics for the production of low-power systems that do not rely on a particular light wavelength or coolers. CIP will design and manufacture the components.
For the BIANCHO project, CIP will handle the designing, fabricating and marketing aspects of advanced devices with the help of new materials for enhancing optoelectronic components. The BIANCHO project will remove the Auger recombination process as it results in loss of energy by using new dilute nitride and bismide alloys of indium phosphide and gallium arsenide for modifying the semiconductor materials’ structure.
