Welcome to the IOLOS Website!

IOLOS project

Funded by the European Union under the SIXTH FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME (FP6-2005-IST-5) PRIORITY 2 - INFORMATION SOCIETY TECHNOLOGIES, the IOLOS project started in September 2006. The overall aim is to develop miniaturised bistable semiconductor ring lasers as all-optical digital logic units, forming the foundation of all-optical signal processing and all-optical memory devices. The project seeks to integrate the developed bistable SRL devices with other waveguide devices to form functional photonic integrated circuits (PIC). The project also aims to demonstrate advanced all-optical functions based on these PICs. The total funding from EU is €1.25 million.
