Microwave Photonics Research Laboratory - M.P.R.L
The Microwave Photonics Laboratory conducts research in fiber-optic systems and networks and microwave photonics, including research work on radio-over-fiber (RoF), WDM-based PON access networks, as well as converged optical-wireless access networks.
The laboratory is equipped with several testing instruments and optical devices for experimentation and testing including:
12.5 Gb/s Bit Error Rate tester, composed of a 12.5 GHz frequency synthesizer, a pulse pattern generator and the Error Detector unit (Anritsu)
40 GHz electrical spectrum analyzer (Anritsu)
40 GHz vector network analyzer (Agilent)
1 GHz 4 GSa/s scope (Agilent)
up to 22 GHz frequency synthesizer (Rohde & Schwarz)
3 GHz vector signal generator
Optical spectrum analyzer (Anritsu, 0.07 nm resolution)
Optical power meter (ILX)
Distributed Feedback (DFB) laser diodes
45-75 GHz Photodiodes
Electro-optic Mach-Zehnder Modulators (MZM)
Optical switches, couplers, isolators, circulators.
Tunable optical Filters and Bandpass Attenuators
Multiplexers/Demultiplexers
Erbium Fiber Optical Amplifiers (EDFAs)
