Fiber Optics Communication System Lab

Introduction

Our lab was established in 2001. Our main focus is on optical internet, Ethernet, and high speed Ethernet. We also investigate merging internet and cable television systems and explore the practical applications for this technology. We are involved in optical manufacture and optical communication system coupling. In addition, we strive to develop technicians with practical "hands on" knowledge.
