The costs of offshore maintenance operations put high reliability-requirements on offshore equipment for ocean energy, especially on submerged ones. Thermal management is thus essential in the design of the prototypes of a marine substation, developed at Uppsala University, for grid interface of wave power parks. The cooling system itself should be efficient as well as […]

Realizing small-footprint and energy-efficient optical switching fabrics is of crucial importance to solve the data movement challenges faced by optical interconnection networks. This article demonstrates silicon photonic 2×2 full crossbar switching functionality based on a single microring. The ultra-compact device is shown to successfully switch data channels from two input ports simultaneously. Data channels in both […]
