Funded Activity Summary

Expanding the boundaries of long distance, high capacity data transmission in optical fibres. The aims of the project are to investigate the interrelationships between various transmission impairments and to develop corresponding management strategies for 40 Gbit/s based wavelength division multiplexed optical transmission systems, to expand the boundaries of current fibre optic links and networks. The project will help underpin the future development of the telecommunications sector of the Australian photonics industry, and enhance Australia's long-term capabilities in long haul optical transmission. The expected outcomes of this project are to strengthen Australia's international photonics profile, create new commercialisation opportunities, and provide critical capabilities for future Australian commercial ventures in this area.
