Dispozitive fotonice integrate avansate pentru funcționalități extinse și consum de energie redus

Orizont Europa

Pe scurt

Banii finanțează proiecte de cercetare și inovare care dezvoltă dispozitive și circuite fotonice integrate mai performante, cu funcționalitate extinsă și consum de energie foarte scăzut, pentru domenii precum comunicații, calculatoare, senzori, diagnostic medical, prelucrare de date și inteligență artificială. Grantul acoperă activități de cercetare care pleacă de la nivelul TRL 3 și trebuie să ajungă la TRL 6 până la finalul proiectului, cu sume între 3 și 5 milioane de euro pe proiect. Se pot aplica entități juridice din statele membre UE, Islanda, Norvegia, țări asociate, țări OECD și țări MERCOSUR, cu finanțare sub formă de sumă forfetară.

Expected Outcome:Advanced integrated photonic devices and circuits with enhanced functionality and performance enabling wider application across multiple sectors including digital, automotive, industrial, health and securityReinforced competitiveness of EU photonics actors by demonstrating advancements in representative system configurations and validating real-world applicabilitySignificantly improved performance of electro-optic systems in applications such as communication, computing, sensing, medical diagnostics, data processing, AI supporting the introduction of photonic elements into such systemsLow power consumption sensors with increased performance in application domains Scope:R&I should enhance the functionality, efficiency, and integration of photonic devices and circuits with a focus extended system performance. Action should address at least two of the following aspects.Enhanced performance through improved spectral purity, wavelength coverage, output power and noise characteristics.Increased modulation or detection speeds going beyond the capability of existing PIC material platforms, improved signal-processing capabilities, and integration of novel materials such as thin-film LiNbO3, BTO, graphene, silicon carbide, phase change materials and TMDCs.Miniaturised, high-complexity photonic circuits (e.g. multilayer photonics, chiplets, multiple integrated functional elements), scalable interconnects and electronics-photonics integration (co-packaged, heterogeneous, or monolithic) to improve performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency.Reduction of power consumption for example through improved electrical-to-optical conversion, lower optical losses, devices operable at higher temperatures to reduce cooling needs, and low-power circuit actuation and control. Proposals should consider system-level impact and demonstrate advancements in representative configurations relevant to one or more application domains.This topic implements the co-programmed European Partnership on photonics.nullActivities are expected to start at TRL 3 and achieve TRL 6 by the end of the project, see General Annex B.

General conditions1. Admissibility Conditions: Proposal page limit and layoutdescribed in Annex A and Annex E of the Horizon Europe Work Programme General Annexes.Proposal page limits and layout: described in Part B of the Application Form available in the Submission System.2. Eligible Countriesdescribed in Annex B of the Work Programme General Annexes.A number of non-EU/non-Associated Countries that are not automatically eligible for funding have made specific provisions for making funding available for their participants in Horizon Europe projects. See the information in the Horizon Europe Programme Guide.3. Other Eligible ConditionsIn order to achieve the expected outcomes, and safeguard the Union’s strategic assets, interests, autonomy, and security, it is important to avoid a situation of technological dependency on a non-EU source, in a global context that requires the EU to take action to build on its strengths, and to carefully assess and address any strategic weaknesses, vulnerabilities and high-risk dependencies which put at risk the attainment of its ambitions. For this reason, participation is limited to legal entities established in Member States, Iceland and Norway, associated countries, OECD countries and MERCOSUR countries.For the duly justified and exceptional reasons listed in the paragraph above, in order to guarantee the protection of the strategic interests of the Union and its Member States, entities established in an eligible country listed above, but which are directly or indirectly controlled by a non-eligible country or by a non-eligible country entity, shall not participate in the action.Described in Annex B of the Work Programme General Annexes.4.
