Applications of novel optical technologies in communications

为了应对不断增长的通信流量需求和新的无线通信标准的引入，迫切需要光通信领域的一系列解决方案，以实现灵活、高容量、低延迟和低功耗的通信网络。因此，在政府和UKRI的资金支持下，南安普顿和其他地方的研究人员正在开发一系列支持光信号传输、放大和处理的新技术。这个博士项目将致力于开发这些新技术在通信系统中的应用。这将是一个高度实验性的项目，依靠ORC通信系统实验室的设施。项目的结果将有助于与外部伙伴进行持续的协作活动，可能需要与外部伙伴进行偶尔的协作。

In response to an ever-increasing demand for communication traffic and the introduction of new wireless communication standards, there is an immediate and urgent need for a range of solutions in optical communications that will enable the implementation of flexible, high-capacity, low-latency and low power consumption communication networks. As a result, and with support of funding received by the Government and UKRI, researchers at Southampton and elsewhere, are developing a range of novel technologies to support the transmission, amplification and processing of optical signals. This PhD project will aim at exploiting some of these novel technologies for applications in communication systems. This will be a highly experimental project, relying on the facility of the Communication Systems lab of the ORC. The outcomes of the project will contribute to ongoing collaborative activities with external partners, with whom occasional collaboration may be required.
