The Department of Photonics Engineering (DTU Fotonik) at the Technical University of Denmark is inviting applications from qualified candidates for a Ph.D. project of three years duration.
Project summary
Over the last twenty years, optical fiber communication technologies have succeeded in increasing its transmission capacity by more than three orders of magnitude with the invent of optical fibers, semiconductor lasers and optical amplifiers, etc., thus realizing a several Tbit/s per fiber transmission system. However, the present optical communication technologies, primarily based on TDM/WDM technologies, have begun to reveal their ultimate physical limitations, namely, Shannon limit combined with fiber nonlinearities, fiber fuse (fiber melt-down), and the optical amplifier bandwidth (See [1] [2]).
This project aims at developing novel photonic transport schemes to go beyond these limitations and to transport and handle well over Pbit/s capacity of information in an energy-efficient way by developing innovative optical fibers, multiplexing, amplification and switching technologies.
