Research Projects

The project aims to contribute to the advancement of photonic-crystal-based EOS/WSS technologies for next-generation communication networks. By designing and evaluating these switches, we can explore new possibilities for achieving efficient and flexible wavelength routing and switching in elastic optical networks. The proposed project aims to develop a new type of WSS based on photonic crystals. Photonic crystals are artificially created structures that have a periodic variation in their refractive index. This periodic variation can be used to create waveguides and resonators that can be used to control the wavelength of light. WDM-based silicon photonic multi-socket interconnect architecture with automated wavelength and thermal drift compensation is a technology that has the potential to revolutionize the way data is transmitted and processed in high-performance computing (HPC) and data center environments.The proposed project is still in its early stages, but it has the potential to revolutionize the field of optical communications. Photonic crystal WSSs could be used to create more efficient and cost-effective optical networks that can support the ever-growing demand for bandwidth. Here are some additional details about the novelty and importance of the proposed project: The proposed project is novel to investigate the use of photonic crystals for wavelength selective switching for SLICE optical networks. The proposed project is important because it has the potential to lead to the development of more efficient and cost-effective WSSs. The proposed project is feasible because it is based on well-established technologies. The proposed project is scalable because photonic crystals can be integrated with other photonic components. The proposed project has the potential to impact a wide range of industries, including telecommunications, datacom, and defense.
