Abstract

This presentation is about a 100 Gbit/s demonstrator project in its early stage. Our focus is to present our project activities; and – at the oral presentation – highlight with a few examples from different subprojects. The project consists of activities in the following areas: high-speed electronics; assembly technology; optical components; and fibre-optical transmission. The project is a joint project with industry; where Optillion is the industrial- and Chalmers is the academic partner. A corresponding project exists also at KTH; which focus on optical modulators.

We are inspired by internet and Ethernet; especially by cost-effective and user-friendly TDM products ike Xenpak and other industrial multi-source agreements (MSA). In common for such MSA solutions are small physical size; low power consumption; plug-and-play installation; and compliance with a winning standard like Ethernet. Our ultimate goal: a demonstrator system; is challenging in three aspects: academic; industrial- and; especially in these days – in economical terms.
