Description of the research topic:
All-optical signal processing means manipulation of modulated optical signals solely in the optical domain without conversion to and from the electronic domain. This approach makes possible to utilize physical phenomena on the femtosecond timescale occurring in specified optical materials, allowing fast, low-cost, low-consumption and compact devices for optical signal processing. Such devices have the potential to operate in ultra-fast future optical fiber communication systems, with functions involving all-optical phase and amplitude regeneration, frequency conversion, multicasting, optical logic gating, ultra-low noise amplification, etc.
It has already been proven that nonlinear optical materials including specified optical fibers and crystals are physically suitable to build such devices. However, their intrinsic physical phenomena and applicability to operate in future high speed optical networks is far not resolved, which makes them one of the main stream research areas of optical telecommunication today.
The topic is initiated with strong collaboration with the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), Tokyo, Japan, which is one of the world-class research institutes of optical telecommunication. In case of successful work and progress, the candidate may have the potential to spend several months in the institute to improve his/her skills as a researcher.
