NRC Photonics: Top-Research School


Harvard scientists: “the whole ICT sector produces as much greenhouse

gasses as all airline companies together; 1000 Google searches consumes as

muchenergy as driving 1 km with a car”

Efforts to reduce the energy footprint by Optical communication technologies

- optical multi-level signal transport:

put more bits in a symbol

- all-optical packet switching:

avoid EO conversions

- optical interconnects:

reduce crosstalk

- broadband fibre to the home* :

reduce 24/7 power consumption

- radio over fibre:

bring the radio antenna closer to the user

* optical access by GPON consumes about 18x less energy per user than VDSL2
