Key research themes

1. How are advanced modulation formats and signal processing techniques enhancing spectral efficiency and data rates in coherent optical fiber communications?

This theme explores the development and application of sophisticated modulation schemes—such as quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), phase-shift keying (PSK), differential phase shift keying (DPSK), and multi-level modulation—in combination with digital signal processing (DSP) to improve spectral efficiency, data throughput, and robustness against fiber nonlinearities and noise in coherent optical communication systems. It addresses the critical need to meet exponentially increasing bandwidth demands by pushing system capacity closer to theoretical limits using coherent detection.
