Research Seminar

 

Title,

High speed optical vector modulators for transmission systems and other applications

 

Speaker: Dr. Tetsuya Kawanishi,

Project Manager, NICT, Tokyo Japan

 

Time: 3:00 pm, June 17, 2008 (Tuesday)

Place: G19/20, Earl Mountbatten Building

 

Abstract,

We describe high-speed versatile modulators, which can provide various types of lightwave modulation, such as differential quadrature phase shift keying, quadrature amplitude modulation, for huge-capacity transmission systems.
