Optical communications technology that provides the physical backbone for global networking and is widely used in Internet service delivery globally
Our laboratory features state-of-the-art equipment for optical communications technology that provides the physical backbone for global networking and is widely used in Internet service delivery globally (local, metropolitan and long-haul), within data centres and within cloud computing centres.
We explore innovation in both theory and experiment to push the boundaries of next-generation optical communications. Our research involves ultra-high-capacity coherent optical transmissions, specialty fibers and fiber amplifiers, smart radio-over-fiber systems, integrated photonic systems, space division multiplexing, silicon photonics, multidimensional lasers and amplifiers. Our research portfolio is a mix of experimental and theoretical investigations, leveraging advanced design methodology, leading-edge fabrication processes, and state-of-the art test equipment. Exciting applications of our research include big data transfer, cloud computing, super computers, portable medical sensors, and ubiquitous sensing networks for human and environment.
