COOL OPTICS

Cool Optics was founded by Pieter van Leeuwen as a result of the EU project ADDAPT ("Adaptive Data and Power Aware Transceivers for Optical Communications"). This project was completed by the end of 2017 and resulted in a prototype of a high performance and energy efficient transceiver. As one of the participants Pieter was convinced that much more efficiency could be gained by developing a solution in the preceding part of the data communication chain (e.g. the Network Stack). Based on that concept a feasibility study was conducted in 2018 showing a positive result. A simulation model was developed together with our partner AIMValley... We believe Cool Optics will contribute to a Carbon Footprint Reduction with its proposal to the H2020 SME Instrument Organization, for a grant to fund the EMDAC project to reduce Carbon Dioxide Emission related to the operation of Data Centers... Based on those facts, Cool Optics primarily focuses on data traffic within the data center. We believe..
