As mankind continues to expand a wide range of activities into space to support essential communications, climate monitoring, research and exploration, it is imperative to establish the viability and safety of key enabling integrated electronics and photonic technologies for operation in harsh environments. Integrated photonics enable systems with unmatched power efficiency, longevity and capability thus improving everything from internet availability and reliability around the planet to improving environmental sensing and enhanced security by enabling robust DoD systems. EPICA’s objective is to enable the use of increasingly sophisticated electronics and photonics in communications and sensing applications for space-borne and aerospace platforms. The diverse team of component, systems and aerospace researchers will collaborate to advance knowledge of associated environmental considerations, and craft specific components and architectures to meet the unique reliability and performance requirements.EPICA’s objective is to enable the next wave of communications and sensing technologies for aerospace and space-borne platforms. The focus is on investigating the reliability of these devices and systems operating in extreme environments such as space. The project has three major thrusts: i) Assessment, understanding, and development of robust integrated photonic hardware for reliable operation under radiation and temperature extremes; ii) Development of components and architectures using system-level methods and tools to extract maximum advantage of integrated photonic systems for aerospace platforms; iii) Definition of flight hardware and mission architectures for subsequent flight demonstration. A three-university team, comprised of Georgia Tech, The University of Central Florida and Vanderbilt University, with complementary expertise and facilities, will apply both analytical and experimental capabilities to this project. UCF researchers will developing components and architectures that are focused on thin-film lithium niobite technologies and precision optical frequency comb sources in the application sector of aerospace wideband communication and signal processing and lidar. This research will be conducted in collaboration with researchers at the other Center locations.EPICA will advance US-based capabilities in the design and manufacture of robust integrated electronics and photonics, enabling reliable internet access around the planet and creating new environmental sensing capabilities. The EPICA team is also actively creating a diverse workforce that includes a mentoring program designed to increase the success of students from underrepresented groups in areas of advanced photonics, electronics and optical sciences. Each site will engage professional societies and have active Bridge Programs to support and transition underrepresented students from the baccalaureate level to graduate school.A project repository for data, code, results, IAB meeting summaries and publications will be digitally archived. Each site will maintain their own local storage and Georgia Tech will manage a comprehensive cloud storage site accessible to the project partners. The repository will be maintained continuously from the first year and for three years after conclusion of the award.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

随着人类继续将活动扩展到基本的沟通，必须建立安全性的电子设备和刺激性的光子技术。通过启用强大的DOD系统，在通信和空间平台的传感器中进行透明的电子设备和感应应用程序。 Epica的目的是使下一步的潮流技术用于航空航天平台使用系统级别的方法来提取辐射的稳健光子硬件；组件和构造的重点是锂矿石技术和精确的光学频率梳子来源，在航空航天宽带nisation和信号处理和激光雷达的应用领域中。强大的集成电子产品的设计和制造，启用可靠的互联网互联网互联网并清除Epica团队还积极创造一个多样化的劳动力，包括来自高级光子领域的学生的成功，每个网站都将吸引专业社会并积极活跃桥梁支持来自Bacalaute级别的Anderpresspertent，IAB会议摘要和出版物将被数字存档。值得使用Tounlectul值得更广泛影响的审查标准的支持术。
