The demand for bandwidth and higher data transfer speeds for business and personal use is improving productivity in the workplace, speeding-up smartphone apps, and revolutionizing home entertainment. Keeping pace with these demands requires continuous improvements in the capacity of server farms and metropolitan data network infrastructure using optical communication links. Optical fibre networks with aggregate data rates beyond 1,000Gbit/s are in the research phase, and the applicants, Professors John Long and Manoj Sachdev, propose acquisition of a modulation analyzer for optical transmitters (OMA) to support their research efforts in this area. The OMA instrument has the capability to analyze multi-level optical data transmission schemes at faster data rates than today’s fastest hardware. It will be dedicated to the research and development of high-data-rate circuits and systems. The OMA will be used to demonstrate pre-competitive research results, and strengthen working relationships with Canadian partners ranging from start-ups to established industrial firms. Attaining our research goals enables higher internet access speeds, faster transfers of information between data centres, greater capacity in metropolitan networks (i.e., 100+Gbit/s Ethernet over fibre), and supports the next generation of cellular wireless communication known as the fifth generation, or 5G.

企业和个人对带宽和更高数据传输速度的需求正在提高工作场所的工作效率，加快智能手机应用程序的速度，并给家庭娱乐带来革命性的变化。要跟上这些需求，就需要不断提高服务器群和使用光通信链路的城域数据网络基础设施的能力。综合数据速率超过1000Gbit/S的光纤网络正处于研究阶段，申请者John Long教授和Manoj Sachdev教授提议购买光发射机调制分析仪(OMA)，以支持他们在这一领域的研究工作。OMA仪器能够以比当今最快的硬件更快的数据速率分析多级光数据传输方案。它将致力于高数据速率电路和系统的研究和开发。OMA将用于展示竞争前的研究结果，并加强与加拿大合作伙伴的工作关系，从初创企业到成熟的工业公司。通过实现我们的研究目标，可以实现更高的互联网接入速度、更快的数据中心之间的信息传输速度、更大的城域网络容量(即光纤上的100+Gbit/S以太网)，并支持被称为第五代或5G的下一代蜂窝无线通信。
