The ATHENS project, spearheaded by researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), is transforming optical communication systems to enhance artificial intelligence (AI) speed and efficiency. With €14 million in funding from the European Research Council, the initiative focuses on developing innovative optical transceivers using hybrid material systems that combine silicon with advanced organic and crystalline materials. These transceivers address the escalating data demands of AI, offering higher transmission rates with reduced energy consumption. By leveraging facilities at the soon-to-open Karlsruhe Center for Optics and Photonics, the team aims to revolutionize signal conversion technology, with potential applications in quantum technology, medical engineering, and AI. This groundbreaking research underscores KIT’s prominence in photonics and materials science innovation.
