ElecOPteR – Electro-optical polariton router
Project code: 780757
Notice: H2020 – ERC-2017-PoC (Call for proposals for ERC Proof of Concept Grant)
Funder: European Commission (GA No 780757)
Period: October 2017 – March 2019
Budget Dhitech: € 31.875,00 ; EC Contribution: 100%
The ELECOPTER project (Electro-Optical Polariton rouTER) aims to demonstrate the feasibility of an on-chip electro-optic modulator based on polaritons (hybrid particles consisting of an ecciton and a photon). Dhitech will assess the application scenario and manage the issues of enhancing technologies with particular reference to the generation and management of intellectual property.
The ELECOPTER Project has been approved by the European Research Council (ERC), an EU body that finances researchers of excellence who intend to carry out border research activities in EU Member States or in associated countries. Projects are funded on the basis of design ideas presented by researchers and are assessed on the basis of the only criterion of scientific excellence. The goal is to recognise the best ideas and give status and visibility to top research in Europe, while also attracting talent from abroad.
