A versatile optical wavelength and mode switching device for future telecommunication networks. This project will develop a next generation switching device for future fibre optical communication networks that will divide their information among several modes of specialty fibre. This device will be a key component for allowing network operators to move to these novel mode-multiplexed networks in order to overcome the looming capacity crunch.

Ultra-fast optoelectronic characterisation for optical and wireless systems:
The project aims to establish an ultra-fast optoelectronic characterisation facility to measure a wide range of electronic and photonic signals, providing versatile tools for conducting research on ultra-high-speed optical communications, microwave photonics, and millimetre wave systems. There is an increasing need for parallel signalling using spatial, temporal and spectral degrees of freedom in both radio-frequency and optical communications. The facility expects to leverage the recent rapid advances in powerful silicon digital signal processors with unprecedented capabilities in bandwidth and accuracy and focus on detecting massively parallel signals. The project aims to support a wide range of research activities from sustaining the phenomenal Internet growth in telecommunications to strengthening Australia’s defence systems.Read moreRead less
