The Center for Information Photonics & Communications
(CIPC) is a research center of the
School of Information Science & Technology (SIST),
Southwest Jiaotong University.
Previously named as "Laboratory of Optical Communications", the center
was founded in Feb., 2008.
The
center infrastructure includes state-of-the-art equipment items for test
and measurement of high-speed communication systems and networks.
Currently there are three professors, two associate professors and more
than 50 graduate students. During the last few years, the group has
published more than 30 papers on top-ranked journals such as Optics
Express, Optics Letters, IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum
Electronics, etc. The main research topics of the center include
optical/quantum communications, optical nonlinearities and signal
processing, optical networking, fiber sensor systems, etc. Key equipment
items include the following: bit-error-rate-test-sets (BERT); optical
and RF spectrum analyzers; high-speed oscilloscope, multiple floating
optical tables; optical modulators, multiplexers, demultiplexers,
receivers, photodetectors and microwave devices; tunable lasers; tunable
filters; optical power meters, detectors and batch of passive
components.
