CUDOS - the Centre for Ultrahigh bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems is an Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence.
It is a reseach consortium between 6 groups at 5 Australian Universities:
The University of Sydney, Australian National University, Macquarie University, Swinburne University of Technology and University of Technology, Sydney
The CUDOS research program has two central themes: Microphotonics and nonlinear photonics. The goal of achieving ultrahigh-speed all-optical signal processing on a single Photonic integrated circuit is addressed by combining these two themes to develop micron-scale photonic components incorporating nonlinear photonics processes. These all-optical signal processors will be the key enabling technology for the next generation of ultrahigh bandwidth optical communication systems.
The Centre has active research programs in photonic circuitry, microstructured Optical fibers, 2D and 3D Photonic crystals and photonic devices and applications. It has strong programs in nonlinear optical theory, modeling and simulation. Experimental programs include the fabrication of micro-structured guided-wave optical devices and studies of nonlinear optical effects in periodic guided wave geometries. It has a comprehensive set of test and measurement capabilities, including a 40 Gb/s optical bit error rate test system (BERT).
