Main research areas
The OptaBro group is researching cable-free optical links with a focus on all-photonic communication systems and VLC (Visible Light Communication) systems. Currently, the OptaBro group's research is focused on the application of fully photonic systems for the transmission of precision timing signals using adaptive optics technology. Our team of researchers is working on the functional blocks of the transmitter and receiver units of the communication chain, from their development, through testing to implementation in cable-free optical links. In addition, we are involved in the measurement and modelling of the atmospheric transmission environment in the optical spectral region, with an emphasis on coherent optical waves. Last but not least, our specialists are researching the optimal intensity profile of the optical beam to minimize the negative effects of the transmission medium on the transmitted information.
