ANAPHI – PROMO aims to develop the mathematical and physical models that will lead to the implementation of fibre-optic and photonic integrated platforms for analog photonic information processing modules. In particular, the project focuses on photonic delay lines and tunable bandwidth optical filters for applications in microwave signal processing. The many advantages of optics/photonics compared to electronics give the potential to realize solutions that offer low loss, high bandwidth modules with immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI), potential for parallel processing (e.g., through wavelength division multiplexing or spatial multiplexing), which greatly increase the channel count and the available system functionality. Microwave photonics finds applications in phased array antenna beam-steering, microwave filters and microwave oscillators.
ANAPHI – PROMO is a 4-year project that fosters to enhance research collaboration with the host institution and other European institutions, as well as US-based institutions, through the PIs network of scientific contacts and current collaborators. The project also aims to form a collaborative scientific team working across the boundaries of optics, photonics, microelectronics and microwave technologies. The project was launched in July 2014 and is co-funded by the European Commission through the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), Marie Curie Action – Career Integration Grants (CIG), FP7-MC-CIG 333829.

CIG Action Objective
The general CIG Action objective is to reinforce the European Research
Area (ERA) by encouraging researchers to establish themselves in a Member State or in an associated country, thereby attracting and retaining the best talents in Europe. The action is designed to support researchers in the first steps of their European research career and to attain lasting professional integration in the ERA. By providing researchers with a substantial research budget, the action is intended to improve considerably their prospects for long term integration, thus contributing to the success of their research career.
This action should also allow the transfer of knowledge that the researchers have acquired prior to the Career Integration Grant, as well as to the development of lasting co-operation with the scientific and/or industrial environment of the country from which they have moved. This action has a particular emphasis on countering European ‘brain drain’ to other third countries.
