LAPCOM

Optical and Microwave Communications Laboratory

Learn More

Laboratory for Optical and Microwave Communications (LAPCOM):

The Optical and Microwave Communications Laboratory works with semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) applications in optical networks, including fast electro-optical (EO) switching, wavelength conversion, and pulse regeneration. The group has experimentally implemented a new technique to improve the speed of EO switching, called PISIC, with tenfold reduction of switching time in SOA, reaching a few hundred picoseconds. Future improvements include gorge filtering and increasing the switching extinction ratio. In addition, research in mobile communication and hybrid optical-mobile networks is underway. The lab has instruments for optical switching and wireless communication, with a CDMA base station donated by Motorola.

USL

Ultrafast Spectroscopy Laboratory

Learn More

The Ultrafast Spectroscopy Laboratory has 200 square meters of space divided into two laboratories. We will soon be moving to a new building with 400 square meters of area, enabling the development of new experiments. They have facilities for laser systems, data acquisition systems, and for other types of experiments including cryogenic and confocal microscopy systems for non-linear optical imaging.
