Short description (English)	Photodetectors for Next Generation Broadband Access Passive Optical Networks (PONDETECT)
Abstract (English)	This project aims to develop advanced avalanche photodiodes (APD) for next generation 10 gigabit (10G) fiber-optic broad band access networks. These access networks are based on point-to-multipoint passive optical networks (PON) over single-mode fiber. Due to link power budget constraints, 10G PON-APD will be key elements of next generation 10G PON. Only 10G PON-APD will offer link spans for cost-efficient connection of remote subscribers or increased number of subscribers per central office terminal in metropolitan areas. For operators, this will result in a significant cost benefit both in OPEX and CAPEX for future Fiber to the Home (FTTH) networks.
