Vision
The Optical
Zeitgeist Laboratory aims at providing insights into technologies,
protocols, and algorithms shapening the future of optical networks and
their seamless integration with next-generation wireless broadband
access networks. The research activities not only address the technical
challenges and opportunities of bimodal optical-wireless networks but
also explore their societal benefits and potential to create new
unforeseen services and applications as we are about to enter the
Petabyte age. As part of the University of Québec, the laboratory is
instrumental in attracting the brightest graduate students and
postdoctoral fellows from around the world and promote collaborations
between scientists, engineers, institutions, and companies in Canada
and abroad.
