Wavelength Scale Photonics- Reduced power consumption
- Potentially low cost
- Increased device speed
- Higher level of integration
What is seen today:•VCSELs dominating for datacom(VCSEL= Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser)
• LW VCSELs for access network
• High refractive index contrast & photonic crystals for integrated optics
• Novel gain materials for new wavelengths => new applications
Photonic R&D gives huge paybacks Swedish VINNOVA agency:
- IT, Telecom and biotech R&D =>10-30 time return over 5-10 years

COST 268 in briefCOST 268 in brief
Our aim: “to investigate and promote the use of (optical)
wavelength scale photonics in telecommunications”
•Our work:- work on joint technical topics, discussed in WG sessions - sponsor “short term missions”- arrange or co-assist with workshops - assist with coordination and dissemination of research

• Scientific work has been running well- WG1 very active with many publications- WG2 relatively active with good collaborations- WG3 started sub-critical mass and took time to get running
• COST 268 efficient in using COST modalities- Short term missions, workshops, WG meetings
• COST 268 has contributed to coordination & dissemination- links with IST & individual IST projects
• Preparation of FP6- EoI generated from COST 268 (at least two)
