Center for Opto-Electronics at NUST: Primary focus of the photonics center research is the advancement of research and development of photonic devices and their applications in the field of optical communications from components to the networks. In the development of such systems, we envision to creating technology with the capacity for remote reconfiguration, data provisioning, wavelength conversion and data, storage and routing. Developmental research areas include light sources (LEDs, semiconductor and fiber lasers), optical amplifiers and reconfigurable add/drop mux and interconnects. In the application of such devices, our research encompasses the design, simulations, fabrication, characterization and packaging of new components for chip-to-chip, board-to-board, and system to system optical interconnections.
