Optical Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Communication Systems

光多输入多输出（MIMO）系统利用一种简单而强大的分集原理来提高光网络的容量和鲁棒性。本提案的重点是通过将MIMO技术应用于光通信系统，最大限度地利用光纤固有的两种偏振模式。该项目可以在集成光子电路和高速数字信号处理领域为澳大利亚创造许多潜在的商业机会。对这些研究活动的资助将进一步提高澳大利亚在这一新兴领域的国际信通技术声誉。

Optical multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems exploit a simple yet powerful principle of diversity to improve the capacity and robustness of optical networks. This proposal focuses on making the most use of two polarisation modes intrinsic to the fiber by applying MIMO techniques to the optical communication systems. This project can potentially create many commercial opportunities in Australia in the area of integrated photonic circuits and high-speed digital signal processing. The funding support of these research activities will further enhance Australia's international ICT reputation in this emerging field.
