It is recognised as a centre of excellence for experimental and theoretical research in optical soliton transmission, high speed optical systems, non-linear optical devices, fibre grating technology and alloptical networks. The Group is also known for pioneering and championing the concept of dispersion managed solitons, which is revolutionising the design of high capacity communications. Lightwave optics Microwave photonics Optical communications. Bit Error Rate Test Set. Marconi, Nortel, Alcatel, Agilant, British Aerospace and BT all support the Group's work.
