Dávid Kóbor: “I have spent 6 weeks in the laboratory of Stavros Iezekiel in Nicosia to investigate the recent developments in the field of opto-electronic oscillators. We have investigated multiple different concepts and architectures, such as class AB photonic links, and self-adaptive microwave photonic bandpass filters. I had the chance to work with a lot of talented professionals and learn from them.”
Ágoston Schranz, a PhD student from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (Hungary), received an ITC Conference Grant from this Action for participating in the 7th International Conference on Photonics, Optics and Laser Technology (PHOTOPTICS 2019), held at the Vienna House Diplomat in Prague (Czech Republic) between 25 and 27 February, 2019. He presented his short paper “Quantum Bit Error Rate Analysis of the…
During two consecutive days, the members of the 6 Working Groups got together in Prague, where the WG leaders presented their progress. The participants had also the chance to have a break-out session, where they were divided into smaller groups, discussing in parallel.
The MC met in Prague for 4th time, with 22 countries represented. The MC members were informed about the progress of the Action, in terms of budget expenditure during the last Grant Period (GP2), activities planned during GP3, scientific development, etc.

The 5G mobile network deployment goal is to provide 1-10 Gb/s wireless signal for the end user. For that purpose, polarization multiplexing (POL-MUX) can be utilized to double the bandwidth efficiency. At these bit rates, the polarization mode dispersion (PMD) becomes very problematic as a bit rate limiting factor. It influences the polarization cross talk and polarization extinction ratio (PER). We propose the application of…
Kyriakos Neophytou, a Ph.D. student from the University of Cyprus (Cyprus) has recently visited the Institute of Optoelectronics at the University of Duisburg-Essen (Germany) during 48 days, under the supervision of Prof. Andreas Stöhr. The purpose of the STSM was to investigate the implementation of backscattering Mobile Terminals (MTs) to an all-photonic FMCW system in order to simultaneously identify and locate the MTs. The experiments…
Dr. Salim FACI, an associate professor from Le Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers, Paris (France), visited Prof. Nathan Gomes and his team in the University of Kent, Canterbury (UK) from 12th to 16th November 2018 with the purpose of evaluation of radio over fiber performances for 5G fronthaul applications based on phase modulation and coherent detection. During this STSM, silicone photonic integrated circuits were…
Rui Min, a pre doctor researcher from ITEAM, Universitat Politècnica de València (Spain), made a stay in the Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden), under the supervision of Prof. Victor Torres Company, aiming to investigate the thermo-optic control of silicon rich silicon nitride high Q microresonators and microresonator frequency comb generation. During his mission, he worked on measure the thermo optics speed of silicon rich silicon…
