Researchers from the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC)
at the University of Southampton working with Eblana Photonics Inc, in Ireland,
have revealed a breakthrough in optical fibre communications in a paper
published in the prestigious journal Nature Communications.
Academics from the ORC have collaborated with colleagues at
Eblana Photonics Inc to develop an approach that enables direct modulation of
laser currents to be used to generate highly advanced modulation format
signals.
