SpinDataCom Annual Meeting

Europe/Zagreb
Description
The explosive growth of available information requires a disruptive shift in the development of high-bandwidth and energy-efficient communication technology. At the same time, space-communication is critical with the acceleration of human activities in space. Laser-based space-light communication is attracting great interest due to the increasing demand for inter-satellite and ground-to-satellite communication. However, as the light intensity diminishes over long-distance, the development of a new light-coding method is crucial for reliable high-speed information transmission.
SpinDataCom will overcome these limitations and revolutionize space and earth communications combining the advances in spintronics and semiconductor lasers with injected unequal number of spin up/down electrons. The electron spin imbalance in spin-lasers is transferred to the circular polarization of light which enables ultrafast polarization modulation, low-power consumption and highly-efficient information coding, implemented even on a single photon. Our approach can be transferred to existing fiberoptic networks, exceeding conventional transmitters in data rates and power efficiency.
Gathering experts from 4 EU countries, SpinDataCom will build a disruptive proof-of-concept (TRL4) for spin-lasers, enabling ultrafast modulation via full electrical spin and magnetization control, to enable groundbreaking technologies for space and Earth data communication. This ambitious approach has potentially transformative impacts on society, economy, and environment due to its many applications on Earth and for space.
With our Industrial Advisory Board, a strong communication, dissemination and exploitation plan, global visibility on SpinDataCom’s results will be ensured while enabling the transfer towards commercialization.
