Research
interests
Optical
communications: ultra-high-capacity and
ultra-long-reach transmission systems and networks,
novel optical amplifiers, all-optical regenerators and
signal processors, new modulation formats.
Nonlinear and quantum optics: manipulation of quantum properties of light (quantum information
processing); generation, characterization, and
application of non-classical states of light (e.g.
squeezed, twin-beam, or entangled states).
Nanophotonics:
nonlinear-optical effects and quantum information
processing in micro- and nanoscale structures.
