**Background to the Project**
The optical fibre communications research group at AiPT has a long history of innovations in nonlinear photonics and long-established relationships with leading companies in the optical networking industry. These PhD studentships are directly funded by EFFECT Photonics within the framework of a project entitled “Highly Integrated Coherent optical fibre Communications” which aims to explore the future roadmap of EFFECT Photonics’s System-on-Chip technology as applied to a new generation of highly compact, power efficient and agile optical transceivers.
The successful applicants will join a research team comprising Prof Wladek Forysiak, Dr Ian Phillips, and Dr Stelios Sygletos, within an optical fibre communications group of over 20 researchers, and will benefit from full scale experimental facilities including access to multi-100Gb/s optical transmission test-beds, state-of-the-art high speed electronic test equipment, and dedicated computational facilities. The projects will investigate the performance of a new generation of digital coherent transceivers in development by EFFECT Photonics, and will enable students to gain highly sought after skills in optical communications, high speed electronics, digital signal processing, and machine learning. These 3.5 year studentships are funded and co-directed by EFFECT Photonics, and students will enjoy opportunities to develop close working relationships and gain valuable industrial experience with the company during extended visits to their engineering sites in the UK and The Netherlands.
