Optical Time-Lens for Ultrahigh Capacity Passive Optical Network (Lens-PON)

This project aims to significantly advance the state of the art in time-lens based optical signal processing technologies for ultrahigh capacity optical access network and unleash their potential for energy-efficiency. This will be achieved through the investigation of new Fourier processing units and schemes, exploring photonic integrable linear/nonlinear components for broadband applications. The grant will allow the recruitment of two PhD students, one postdoc and purchasing of new equipment.
