| Main Objective: COMPRESS is focused on a main objective: to develop optical tools that implement layers of ( pre) optical compression, applicable to any type of signal (image, data, etc.). The solutions discussed in COMPRESS, inspired by the excellent results of the pioneers CITO project, already completed with excellent, where the team explored the concepts and demonstrated that the principle of optical transforms could be applied to the compression and decompression of data and even greater advantages could still arise if the process was implemented in integrated photonics. Given the transparency and passive nature of the proposed process, this methodology may allow a large energy saving and processing capacity relief in the current compression and decompression systems, since this is a key function of traditional related operations, eg Haar transforms, fully in the optical domain. COMPRESS will depart from an implementation of a key element, the magicT a coupler that allows additions and subtractions in the optical domain. This element allows you to implement the Haar transform in the optical domain. This component has been implemented based on couplers, in CITO project and the European project context PARADIGM, where he was awarded a slot for implementation in a multi process wafer run, due to its degree of conceptual innovation. This design and implementation basis, allow the establishment of comparison baselines for the technical proposal right from Day 1 of COMPRESS project, if approved for funding. This chip, together with the team of knowledge in the area, and with existing capabilities in IT av will be possible to develop models, concepts and implementations that are sure to overcome the barriers that the first generation features: size and complexity. In COMPRESS we objectively reduce the size of these components to 1/10 the size just based m change in approach, a linear coupler for an MMI coupler (multimode interferometer), process does not necessarily simple but not with obvious fundamental limitations. This will allow the development of more complex transforms and, hence, more useful for real systems, or the increased level of compression, or the signal input number or points simultaneous processed by one optical chip. the COMPRESS, when successfully completed will open a lot of doors for new applications and will certainly have a high impact in the fields of image processing and telecommunications. |
