Please describe the Weak Signal (approx. 150 words)
BOOM is an integration project that aims to pursue the systematic advancement of Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) integration technology to develop compact, cost-effective and power efficient silicon photonic components that enable photonic Tb/s capacity systems for current and new generation high speed broadband core networks. BOOM will perform system level integration of all these components to assemble the first prototype rack-mount, ultra-high capacity routing platform based on silicon photonics that will require minimum board space and power consumption and achieve a total throughput of 640Gb/s. The platform will be evaluated in a network operator test bed employing GbE optical signals.
