Originally developed to measure optical frequencies as an ultra-precise frequency 'ruler', this new type of light source has emerged as a transformative tool for many scientific and engineering fields. They enable precise distance measurement and fast data transmission, crucial for future ultra-fast internet connectivity, wireless device positioning, and medical diagnostics. However, the existing frequency comb technologies have limitations. The predominant existing technologies are not easily adjustable, producing predetermined shapes of light pulses and spectra, limiting their applications and flexibility. Moreover, they are challenging to deploy in practical, variable environments such as on mobile and satellite terminals due to their size and sensitivity to temperature fluctuations. The first objective of this fellowship is to address these challenges by creating new types of frequency comb sources that are adjustable, stable, compact, and can work in a wide range of environments and temperatures, which has not been achieved with existing technologies. In addition to the development of these new comb sources, the fellowship will also explore and demonstrate their applications in telecommunication technologies by increasing telecommunications network data capacity and by enabling more precise clock and time synchronisation. The above objectives will be achieved by significantly developing the concepts formulated by the fellow through a synergy of expertise in photonic integrated circuits, nonlinear optics, RF electronics, signal design and control. The goal of this fellowship is to validate the proposed techniques by developing prototype hardware, with which experimental trials will be performed in real-world environments. The fellowship research outcomes could advance communications, medical imaging, and broader potential in precision manufacturing and astronomy. The development of this new light source technology and associated technologies align with the UK's strategy to lead in telecommunications and healthcare innovation. The outcomes will benefit researchers, healthcare professionals and suppliers by providing insights and advancements in photonics and communications technologies. The ultimate beneficiary will be the public, who will gain better digital infrastructure and healthcare services. The new techniques will enable faster Internet and future society-transformative applications such as connected car fleets and autonomous drone swarms. They will advance medical imaging techniques, allowing for non-invasive, non-ionising, in-vivo diagnostic imaging with deeper penetration than existing technologies. This fellowship answers the growing demand for state-of-the-art but practical frequency comb technologies, driven by the need for highly precise sensing and higher data rates in various fields like medical diagnostics and telecommunications. It aims to benefit a wide range of end users and audiences, including academic researchers in the telecom and medical sectors, component suppliers and vendors, equipment vendors and network operators, healthcare professionals and patients, as well as policymakers and government agencies. In conclusion, this fellowship aims to demonstrate a new, highly flexible, and practical optical frequency comb tool that promises advancements in telecommunications, medical imaging, and various scientific applications, positioning the UK as a leader in these cutting-edge technologies.

From our interactions with the people who design, build and use the systems that make this possible, we have created a programme to make possible the first data interconnects, switches and sensors that use lasers monolithically integrated on silicon, offering the potential to transform Information and Communication Technology (ICT) by changing fundamentally the way in which data is sensed, transferred between and processed on silicon chips. The work builds on our demonstration of the first successful telecommunications wavelength lasers directly integrated on silicon substrates. The QUDOS Programme will enable the monolithic integration of all required optical functions on silicon and will have a similar transformative effect on ICT to that which the creation of silicon integrated electronic circuits had on electronics. This will come about through removing the need to assemble individual components, enabling vastly increased scale and functionality at greatly reduced cost.

The project is due to end in December 2019, after which time the CORNERSTONE fabrication capability will be self-sustaining, with users paying for the service. Based upon demand from the UK's premier photonics researchers, this proposal seeks funding to extend the capability that is offered to UK researchers beyond the current SOI platforms, to include emerging Silicon Photonics platforms, together with capabilities facilitating integration of photonic circuits with electronics, lasers and detectors. These emerging platforms enable a multitude of new applications that have emerged over the past several years, some of which are not suitable for the SOI platform, and some of which complement the SOI platform by serving applications at other wavelengths. Southampton, and Glasgow universities will work together to bring the new platforms to a state of readiness to deliver the new functionality via a multi-project-wafer (MPW) mechanism to satisfy significantly increasing demand, and deliver them to UK academic users free of charge (to the user) for the final six months of the project, in order to establish credibility. This will encourage wider usage of world class equipment within the UK, in line with EPSRC policy. We seek funding for 3 PDRAs and 2 technicians across the 2 institutions, over a 2 year period, to facilitate access to a very significant inventory of equipment at these 2 universities, including access to UK's only deep-UV projection lithography capability. During this 2 year period, we will canvas UK demand for the capability to continue to operate as an EPSRC National Research Facility, and if so, to establish a statement of need. We currently have 50 partners/users providing in-kind support to a value of to £1,705,000 and cash to the value of £173,450.

The development cycle of a silicon photonics device consists of three stages: design, fabrication, and characterisation. Whilst design and characterisation can readily be done by research groups around the country, the fabrication of silicon photonics devices, circuits and systems requires large scale investments and capital equipment such as cleanrooms, lithography, etching equipment etc. Based at the Universities of Southampton and Glasgow, CORNERSTONE 2.5 will provide world-leading fabrication capability to silicon photonics researchers and the wider science community. Whilst silicon photonics is the focus of CORNERSTONE 2.5, it will also support other technologies that utilise similar fabrication processes, such as MEMS or microfluidics, and the integration of light sources with silicon photonics integrated circuits, as well as supporting any research area that requires high-resolution lithography. The new specialised capabilities available to researchers to support emerging applications in silicon photonics are: 1) quantum photonics based on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers; 2) programmable photonics; 3) all-silicon photodetection; 4) high efficiency grating couplers for low energy, power sensitive systems; 5) enhanced sensing platforms; and 6) light source integration to the silicon nitride platform. Access will be facilitated via a multi-project-wafer (MPW) mechanism whereby multiple users' designs will be fabricated in parallel on the same wafer. This is enabled by the 8" wafer-scale processing capability centred around a deep-UV projection lithography scanner installed at the University of Southampton. The value of CORNERSTONE 2.5 to researchers who wish to use it is enhanced by a network of supporting companies, each providing significant expertise and added value to users. Supporting companies include process-design-kit (PDK) software specialists (Luceda Photonics), reticle suppliers (Compugraphics, Photronics), packaging facilities (Tyndall National Institute, Bay Photonics, Alter Technologies), a mass production silicon photonics foundry (CompoundTek), an epitaxy partner for germanium-on-silicon growth (IQE), fabrication processing support (Oxford Instruments), an MPW broker (EUROPRACTICE), a III-V die supplier (Sivers Semiconductors) and promotion and outreach partners (Photonics Leadership Group, EPIC, CSA Catapult, CPI, Anchored In). Access to the new capabilities will be free-of-charge to UK academics in months 13-18 of the project, and 75% subsidised by the grant in months 19-24. During the 2-year project, we will also canvas UK demand for the capability to continue to operate as an EPSRC National Research Facility, and if so, to establish a Statement of Need.
