Photonics is the most important enabler for the information technology and communications systems of the future. Research and development in Berlin are making outstanding achievements in this area. This applies to data transfers over long distances. When you use the internet today, there is a 50 percent chance that your data will come into contact with photonic components from Berlin. It is also true of the increase in performance and cost efficiency of data centers. The expertise that was developed in the European flagship project PhoxTroT has recently been available in Berlin in a unique infrastructure from the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft. PhoxTroT created optimal synergies between different technology platforms streamlining their deployment towards Tb/s-scale, high-performance, low-cost, and low-energy optical interconnect components and sub-systems.
As a neutral platform, the newly launched PhoxLab allows photonic components and integrated solutions for data centers to be tested and developed. PhoxLab offers solutions for various levels of hierarchy (on-chip, chip-to-chip, board-to-board, rack-to-rack), architectures, and protocols and is open to all kinds of collaboration.
