Systems Research Line

PRL is considered a world-leading group in Microwave Photonics systems, principally due to its contributions to the field of microwave signal processing, a fundamental technology for the convergence of fixed and wireless telecommunication networks. The research is focused in tunable and reconfigurable microwave filters based in fibre gratings and delay lines for the processing of radiofrequency, microwave and milimetric signals, remote antenna array feeders by means of optical delay lines (beamforming and beam stearing), signal processing and distribution over Space-Division Multiplexing (SDM) optical fibers, and Slow and Fast Light (SFL) Effects applied to Microwave Photonics.

In addition, PRL also work on the applications of Quantum Mechanic principles to information processing in optical telecommunication systems (Entanglement, Quantum state teleportation and Encryption).
