Funded Activity Summary

Tailoring ultrafast pulses for Tb/s transmission with advanced modulation formats. Ultrahigh bandwidth communications technologies will play an increasingly important role in the social and economic development of Australia. The potential benefit is emphasised by the recent decision to build a broadband network valued at $8 B that will link the vast majority of Australian homes and businesses by high speed optical fibre. In this project we will investigate innovative approaches for optical transmission of data at the ultrahigh bit rates required by these next generation networks. These approaches will be based on technology developed in Australia by the Partner Organisation Optium Corporation, leading to further growth opportunities within the Australian manufacturing operation of this company.
