Research Activities

Research Activities:

My research experiences and interests include the challenging issues of modeling of optical fiber transmission systems focusing on various linear and nonlinear impairments. The research target is to design ultra-high speed short-haul and long-haul fiber-optic communication (single-channel and multi-channel: WDM or OFDM) systems in order to meet the huge growing demand for bandwidth efficiently. Furthermore, I have been conducting research on photonics where I have focused on waveguide design for Terahertz transmission. Photonic crystal fiber based dispersion compensating fiber, sensor and optical signal processing devices are under investigation. Some of the research activities that are carried out and some ongoing works are as follows:

  • Investigation of nonlinear effects like XPM and FWM in DWDM systems. Also intrachannel XPM and intrachannel FWM in single channel optical fiber transmission lines are being checked considering high data rate and various types of fibers and dispersion-managed (DM) models

  • Analysis of third-order dispersion (TOD) in ultra-high speed like 100 Gb/s, 160 Gb/s, and 400 Gb/s long-haul transmission lines and its mitigation techniques. TOD induced time shift of optical pulse is being studied also

  • Exploring the optimal modulation formats for next generation optical fiber communication. Recently phase modulated formats like BPSK, DPSK, QPSK, DQPSK, and QAM have drawn huge attention to the researchers

  • Fiber Bragg grating based dispersion compensator and different types of sensor

  • Fundamental and higher-order ultra-short soliton pulse for telecommunication and medical applications

  • PMD analysis and mitigation techniques in ultra-high bit rate transmission including non-coherent and coherent communication systems

  • Research on Photonic Crystal Fiber (PCF) has been conducting which has a huge potential as a sensor, for medical applications and for optical communication systems etc

  • THz fiber design for THz communication, THz sensors and other applications

  • Free-space optical (FSO) communication

  • Plasmonics
