Research axes
Optical Communications
The research axis focuses on the development of devices, protocols and communication network architectures for the transmission of information over optical fibers. It aims at increasing the spectral efficiency of high-speed transmissions through complex modulation formats, integrated multidimensional multiplexing systems, specialty fibers and signal processing methods.
Work also addresses network flexibility through all-optical routing, network energy efficiency through low power silicon photonic devices and subsystems, and connectivity through RF signal distribution over fiber. This research group also studies photonic devices and the design of dedicated components. It aims to demonstrate the operation of subsystems for optical information encoding and processing. An important part of the work is of an experimental nature and is supported by the research infrastructures available within the group.
