Published purpose

Concordia University and the NRC will explore quantum dot multi-wavelength lasers for millimeter wave generation and transmission. This research will involve the: (1) design, fabrication and investigation of one-sided PN junction photomixers (broadband and high-power), which was proposed by Concordia with simpler structure and better performance when compared to a uni-carrier traveling photomixer; (2) design, fabrication and investigation of integrated photomixer antenna’s including a single integrated photomixer and antenna and 8 integrated photomixer and antenna arrays; (3) investigation of the use of QD lasers with mobile fronthaul transmissions, millimeter-wave generation and coherent detection of mobile signals for cloud radio access networks.
