Funding and Organization of SCOOP
SCOOP is a nationally funded project. Funded by the Danish Technical Research Council (STVF), SCOOP brings together expertise from university and industry. University is represented by groups from Research Center COM, situated at the Technical University of Denmark. Industry is represented by the Danish semiconductor manufacturer GIGA A/S. The common goal is to develop components for ultra-fast optical signal processing.

Research Center COM a newly formed research facility at DTU. COM is represented in SCOOP by the III/V Semiconductor Group and the Systems Group.	GIGA A/S is a leading producer state-of-the-art high-speed ICs. GIGA is responsible for fabrication and process development within the SCOOP project.

SCOOP is headed by Professor Jørn Hvam from Research Center COM. The organization in SCOOP is as follows

Research Organization within SCOOP
The project spans from the study of very basic semiconductor properties all the way to system experiments on final devices.

The more basic work such as basic charaterization, modeling of devices, but also system experiments are performed at Research Center COM. A more detailed description of our research can be found by clicking on "Research" on the menu to the left.

Research Center COM comprises excellent experience within characterization. Our basic characterization group is highly recognized for its work in the area of spectrally and temporally resolved fast spectroscopy on III/V materials. The systems charaterization group is highly renowned for its excellent work on designing and charaterizing devices for optical communication. Finally, the modeling group has extensive experience modeling the carrier dynamics in active waveguides, including short-pulse generation using mode-locked lasers and four-wave mixing in semiconductor optical amplifiers.
