Optics and photonics, optical networks and systems, convergence of wired and wireless communications

To design and build an efficient and flexible next generation Internet powered by optimized integration of electronics and optics

To provide high bandwidth, quad-play services, voice, data, video and mobility to future Internet users

To explore opportunities for integrating optical and millimeter-wave transceivers into computer chips using high-density, high-speed optical interconnects technology

1.  We have designed and built a wireless over optical fiber testbed for next generation multi-gigabit wireless access networks for very high throughput video and data applications.

2,  We have designed and demonstrated an optical label switched router for information packet forwarding and routing in future internet.

3.  We have designed and built a super broadband optical wireless access network that can deliver both wireless and wired access bandwidth of >10 Gb/s over WDM-PONS (Wavelength-division-multiplexed passive optical networks) amd multi-channel uncompressed HDTV services using radio wave over fiber (ROF) technologies.

4. We have demonstrated high-density, high-speed optical interconnect systems on flexible substrates for next generation computer and communications systems.

Georgia offers me an opportunity to realize my lifelong dream to lead the research on optical and millimeter wave networking technologies for advanced communication networks. I also like to realize and  follow the motto of Georgia Tech: Progress and Services. This is the place that I will contribute to society through my 23 years of research experience at Bell Labs, Bellcore, Telcordia Technologies, and OpNext.
