We are a group of people in the
ECE Department at the Minnesota State University, Mankato working hard and
enthusiastically on research problems in Optical communication Systems and
Networks, Optoelectronic Integrated Circuits (OEICs), and Design Automation
Software Tools.
Current Projects:
Polarization mode dispersion effects in optical fibers
SSSF simulation schemes for vector optical fiber channel
Control for coherent optical transceivers
Outage evaluation for coherent optical fiber communication systems
with PMD effects
DSP block processing for coherent optical fiber communication
systems
A simulation based discrete time optical communication course
development
