CNIT researchers at the forefront on Graphene Photonics have published in the journal Nature Reviews a perspective paper for this technology entitled “Graphene-based integrated photonics for next-generation datacom and telecom”. Abstract: “Graphene is an ideal material for optoelectronic applications. Its photonic properties give several advantages and complementarities over Si photonics. For example, graphene enables both electro-absorption and electro-refraction modulation
The CNIT/Roma Tor Vergata team led by Prof. Stefano Salsano has been awarded the first prize (40K€) in the “Interworking” stream or the SoftFIRE challenge (https://www.softfire.eu/open-calls/softfire-challenge/). The final evaluation of the competing teams took place during the 3rd Fed4FIRE+ Engineering Conference in Paris on March 15th. The work concerns the deployment of arbitrary overlay topologies over multiple testbeds and
