OPTIKLAB: OVER 20 YEARS OF RESEARCH AND EXPERTISE IN OPTICAL COMMUNICATIONS

Optical Communications Lab @ University of Parma

OUR RUNNING PROJECTS

Some of our ongoing researches and projects.
Go to HORIZON2020 – ROAM

HORIZON2020 – ROAM

Project ROAM: Revolutionising optical fibre transmission and networking using the Optical Angular Momentum of Light. Under supervision on CNIT and collaboration with Laval University the group is studying though simulations the nonlinear impairments in OAM fibers.

Go to OPTILUX SIMULATOR

OPTILUX SIMULATOR

Optilux is an open source collection of tools that provide advanced techniques to design, simulate, and analyze optical communication systems. Optilux was implemented and it is mantained at University of Parma by Paolo Serena and Optiklab PhD and Researchers.

Go to NOKIA BELL LABS COLLABORATION

NOKIA BELL LABS COLLABORATION

From 1999 Optiklab is funded by Nokia (former Alcatel-Lucent) Bell-Labs France on WDM design of long-haul terrestrial and submarine transmission systems. Prof Bononi spent a sabbatical year at Bell Labs in Paris, and several PhD students served as interns.

Go to QUANTUM INFORMATION SCIENCE @UNIPR

QUANTUM INFORMATION SCIENCE @UNIPR

Many people and research groups at UniPR study quantum computing, communication and security (i.e., quantum information). Optiklab participate to this labs group to learn, share and enrich knowledge about quantum information.

OUR FOCUS

Experts in optical communication, focusing on non-linear effects, long-haul WDM system design and optical simulation.
On the cutting edge of fiber optics.

Optiklab is the optical communications research group of the University of Parma.

Optiklab has been active for more than 15 years, and it has collaboration with some of the major players in the field of optical transmission and communication.

Optiklab research is now active on several topics. From nonlinear impairments assessment and simulation to the impact of modulation formats on system performance. Moreover, from polarization mode dispersion to the investigation on new multi-mode fibers.
