When industry, education and government services were forced to relocate significant portions of their work force to remote operation in 2019/2020, the global information network was ready to meet demand. Few other points in history have so well illustrated how universal connectivity is key to the growth of prosperity and quality of life. Research into optical and mobile communications systems ensures we continue to improve the reliability, sustainability, and capacity of these networks to meet the next unforeseen challenge. They are also the trampoline for ever greater technical capabilities and more diverse applications; they are the conduits to societal advances. The Canada Research Chair in Communications Systems Enabling the Cloud (CRC-CSEC) focuses on how we move data to and within data processing centers. Short reach systems (at the network edge where mobiles connect, and at the data center where processing occurs) must be engineered very differently from long reach systems aggregating signals for bulk transfers. We take insights into fundamental devices (fiber-based and integrated photonic chips) and marry them with an appreciation for the particular and idiosyncratic requirements of specific links. It is not the specificity of the application, but rather the insertion of specificity at the time of chip/fiber design that will propel us to greater advances in the state of the art. We return to the initial design process to replace the targeting of generic specifications (bandwidth, extinction ratio, etc.), with an optimization of the behavior of the device in the target system. The Canada Research Chair will advance research in the field, and equally importantly, create a cohort of highly trained personnel transferring these concepts and paradigms to industry. Recognized with numerous awards for her teaching and graduate supervision, the chair creates a dynamic, multi-cultural and diverse research team of the highest quality. As heavy investors in product research and development, the telecommunications industry has an insatiable demand for researchers versed in the latest research and adept with world-class laboratory facilities. Trainees from the chair will joint these companies and convert research results into quality of life improvements for Canadians.

2019/2020年，当工业、教育和政府服务部门被迫将大部分劳动力转移到远程操作时，全球信息网络已准备好满足需求。历史上很少有其他时间点能如此好地说明普遍连通性是繁荣和生活质量增长的关键。对光学和移动的通信系统的研究确保我们继续提高这些网络的可靠性、可持续性和容量，以应对下一个不可预见的挑战。 它们也是更大技术能力和更多样化应用的跳板;它们是社会进步的管道。加拿大通信系统支持云（CRC-CSEC）研究主席专注于我们如何将数据移动到数据处理中心以及在数据处理中心内移动数据。 短距离系统（在移动设备连接的网络边缘处，以及在处理发生的数据中心处）必须与聚合用于批量传输的信号的长距离系统非常不同地进行设计。我们深入了解基本设备（基于光纤的集成光子芯片），并将其与特定链路的特殊要求结合起来。这不是应用的特殊性，而是在芯片/光纤设计时插入特殊性，这将推动我们在现有技术中取得更大的进步。我们回到初始设计过程，以取代通用规格（带宽，消光比等）的目标，同时优化目标系统中设备的行为。加拿大研究主席将推进该领域的研究，同样重要的是，创建一批训练有素的人员，将这些概念和范式转移到行业。该椅子因其教学和研究生监督而获得众多奖项，创造了一个最高质量的充满活力，多元文化和多样化的研究团队。作为产品研究和开发的重投资者，电信业对精通最新研究和熟练掌握世界级实验室设施的研究人员的需求永无止境。来自主席的受训人员将加入这些公司，并将研究成果转化为加拿大人生活质量的改善。
