Direct On-Chip Digital Optical Synthesis (DODOS)

Abstract

The Direct On-chip Digital Optical Synthesis (DODOS) program aimed to integrate diverse electronic and photonic components to create a compact, robust, and highly-accurate optical frequency synthesizer for various mission-critical DoD applications. DODOS leveraged recent developments in the field of integrated photonics to enable the development of a ubiquitous, low-cost optical frequency synthesizers. The program lead to disruptive DoD capabilities, including high-bandwidth optical communications, higher performance Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR), portable high-accuracy atomic clocks, and high-resolution detection of chemical/biological threats at a distance. Basic research for this program was funded within PE 0601101E, Project ES-01.
