Quantum dot multi-wavelength lasers for millimeter wave generation and transmission

FY 2019-20 · 2020-03-06

Summary
Concordia University and the NRC will explore quantum dot multi-wavelength lasers for millimeter wave generation and transmission. This research will involve the: (1) design, fabrication and investigation of one-sided PN junction photomixers (broadband and high-power), which was proposed by Concordia with simpler structure and better performance when compared to a uni-carrier traveling photomixer; (2) design, fabrication and investigation of integrated photomixer antenna’s including a single integrated photomixer and antenna and 8 integrated photomixer and antenna arrays; (3) investigation of the use of QD lasers with mobile fronthaul transmissions, millimeter-wave generation and coherent detection of mobile signals for cloud radio access networks.

Description (French)
L’Université Concordia et le CNRC exploreront la possibilité d’utiliser des lasers à points quantiques et à longueur d’onde multiple pour la génération et la transmission d’ondes millimétriques. Ces travaux comporteront : 1) la conception, la fabrication et l’étude de photomélangeurs à base de jonctions PN dissymétriques (large bande et haute puissance), proposés par Concordia sous une structure plus simple et avec de meilleures performances en comparaison à un photomélangeur utilisant une photodiode à transport unipolaire; 2) la conception, la fabrication et l’étude d’antennes et de photomélangeurs intégrés, notamment un système comportant un seul photomélangeur et une seule antenne et huit réseaux de photomélangeurs et antennes intégrés; 3) l’étude de l’application des lasers à point quantique aux transmissions de front de la téléphonie mobile, à la génération d’ondes millimétriques et à la détection cohérente des signaux de téléphonie mobile pour les réseaux d’accès radio en nuage.
Expected Results
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.
Expected Results (French)
À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides.
