Sprinter Project

sprinter is a research and development project funded by the horizon europe framework programme (horizon) aiming to combine the best-of-breed optical components and methods from various powerful but complementary photonic integration platforms to develop low-cost, energy-efficient, and ultra-dynamic optical transceivers as well as optical switching solutions in order to cope with the diverse needs of the industrial networks and expedite their truly digital transformation. within sprinter low-cost and energy-efficient 200 gb/s optical transceivers in order to support the high-capacity connectivity will be developed. additionally, sprinter will provide ultra-fast wavelength-tunable 10 gb/s optical transceivers, enabling the development of an all-optical switching system, guaranteeing the reliability and time determinism required for time critical communication. in addition, leveraging well-proven integration techniques that allow for the fabrication of complex 3d photonic integrated cir
