The goal of this project is form an international research center on ultrahigh-speed optical communication technologies and realize the world’s top-level information and communication infrastructure through the collaborative research and development of 160 Gbit/s~1 Tbit/s optical transmission technologies.

A core technology is the time-domain optical Fourier transformation technique that we have developed. By combining it with a highly-functional optical signal processing and high-speed optical devices developed by overseas collaborators, we expect the feasibility of next-generation global large-capacity optical backbone network to be increased.
