Inventor
Prof. Kamal Alameh & Yong Tak Lee, WA Centre for Excellence for Micro Photonic Systems (COMPS) & GIST
Winner, 2007 WA Inventor of the Year (Early stage category).
Applications
High-performance computers, high-speed communication links, high-speed signal processing, Square Kilometre Array project.
IP status
3 PCT patents filed. IP owned jointly by ECU and Ytel.
Current status
High speed interconnects for very short distance communications links. A proof of concept demonstrator has been successfully completed. The manufacture and optimisation of a multi-channel demonstrator is currently underway. The next technical milestone is the development of a pre-production prototype. A spin-out company is planned to exploit this business opportunity, and is expected to be investment ready in 2012.
