The High-Speed Optical Communications group has again broken a world record. This time it was the world record in data transfer speed of pure serial binary data. They have broken the “terabit barrier” and achieved a transfer speed of 1.28 terabit per second (or 1.280 gigabits per second corresponding to 1.280.000.000.000 bits).
For the last 40 years, Professor Jørn Hvam has contributed to research, education and innovation within the fields of semicondutors and optics. It is largely due to him that DTU has long maintained a leading position in ultra-fast dynamics in semiconductors.
This year, associate professor Morten Bache from DTU Fotonik was among the receivers of the prestigious “Young Researchers Award”. It was handed out by The Danish Councils for Independent Research (DFF) on January 29, 2009. The award is given to highly talented young researchers (below the age of 35) who have submitted proposals to one of the scientific research councils under DFF.
In a new research project researchers aim to find more efficient methods for generating extremely short femtosecond laser pulses in the important visible and near-infrared regimes. These pulses can today only be generated in research laboratories with bulky, fickle state-of-the-art lasers operating complex setups. A simpler and more efficient method is needed in order for these pulses to be used in the industry and for medical purposes. Of possible applications are ultra-fast spectroscopy of molecular vibrations and non-invasive surgery on living cells.
Results of DTU Nanotech and DTU Fotonik collaboration featured on the cover of the APL December 8 issue.
On the 25th and 26th of November 2008 the DIODE group at DTU Fotonik held a two-day LED industrial course in Oticonsalen at DTU. Around 80 people from Danish lighting companies, electronics suppliers, engineers and designers participated in the course.

In these days (16th and 17th of January) the Networks and Systems Areas participate in the ALPHA kick-off meeting. ALPHA is a new European ICT project, which focuses on new services for the home users, the access network and in-house cabling. Some of the technologies in question are plastic fibres, radio over fibre, integration of wireless access and fibre access. In addition, easy configurable and self-configurable management of the home access network is very important and part of the project objectives.
