On-chip PHotonics Erbium-doped Laser for LIdar Applications
Objective
OPHELLIA: On-chip PHotonics Erbium-doped Laser for LIdar Applications
OPHELLIA is a collaborative research project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. The objective of OPHELLIA is to develop novel materials and integration technology for the realization of innovative PIC(a) building blocks to develop PIC-based laser sources for emerging TOF(Time of Flight) and FMCW(Frequency-modulated continuous-wave) LiDAR applications. These LIDAR will be low cost and low size thanks to the high chip integration and tolerant packaging technology while, at the same time, exhibit the same or even higher performance than existing solutions.
