Outline

The research project aims to develop a novel photonic router characterized by no standby power consumption. The router is realized by integrating heterogeneous materials such as magnetic materials, metals and semiconductors on a single silicon photonic circuit chip. It has the great advantage of accommodating an increase in traffic transmitting large-capacity contents together with small-sized contents generated by Internet of Things while preventing an increase in power consumption. The router brings about a breakthrough in infrastructural technologies for communication networks.
