Fibre Optic nonlinear TEchnologies [FONTE]

– a European Industrial  Doctorate [EID]

 

Research

in the FONTE project focuses on the development of disruptive nonlinear techniques and approaches to fibre-optic communications beyond the limits of current technology. The project will make important innovative steps in development of the technique of the nonlinear Fourier transform (NFT) and its implementation in the practical communication systems.

Consortium

The FONTE consortium unites five world leading groups working in Fibre-optic communication systems, which have already made important contributions to this booming field: the four high profile academic groups of Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies at Aston University (UK), Technical University of Denmark (Denmark), Delft University of Technology (Netherlands) and Télécom ParisTech (France), alongside the industrial partner Nokia Bell Labs (Germany).
