MILLIAMP | III-V seMiconductor on sILicon nano opticaL amplIfier for signal regenerAtion and coMPuting

Summary
Decreasing both power consumption and footprint of optoelectronic devices has been a long term goal for nanophotonics. MILLIAMP aims at the demonstration of the proof of concept of a novel type of integrated semiconductor optical amplifiers presenting performance in terms of compactness, power consumption and nonlinearity, fulfilling the needs for on chip communications and all-optical neural networks. Our invention stems directly from the work achieved on nanolaser diodes integrated on Si photonic circuit during the ERC consolidator project HYPNOTIC.
During the project, technical activities will be focused on the development of the device for two user cases: optical regeneration of high bit rate signals and the demonstration of a sigmoid activation function for neuromorphic computing.
The device will complete the portfolio of optoelectronic nanocomponents developed in the PI's team. We aim at exploiting this technology by creating a spin-off company which will offer solutions for systems in package communications.
MILLIAMP has for objectives to achieve a market study and determine a business model for the future startup. Our goal will alos be to strengthen the intellectual property and to establish partnerships with microelectronics companies.
