Objective:

The overall objectives of the FUNFOX project consist in demonstrating functional, miniaturised and potentially low-cost components, based both on substrate and membrane approaches, for applications in metropolitan optical networks.

INTEC's Role:

Develop a process for integrating 2D fiber couplers-polarisation splitters with low-index contrast InP photonic crystal devices.
