Title:

Nonlinear Optical Signal Processing in Optical Fibers and Waveguides

Professor Gary M. Carter
Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering UMBC

Abstract:

Advances in optical fiber and semiconductor technology have progressed to the degree that nonlinear optical signal processing can be demonstrated at extraordinarly high data rates. In this talk I will review some of our work in photonic crystal fibers, silicon nano wires, and AlGaAs optical waveguides.
