  • Pulse generation and compression.
  • Optical communications systems and networks (WDM, TDM, PON, FTTx, CATV, FC).
  • Development of sensor devices and systems based on optical fibers.
  • Design and development of sensor interrogation systems.
  • Study and development of multiplexing techniques for fiber optic sensors.
  • Design and construction of fiber optic Bragg gratings.

Historical review

In recent decades, the incidence of communications in economic-social activities has grown dramatically, reaching practically all levels of the productive apparatus. It is for this reason that in 1995 a laboratory was created at the CIOp for basic studies such as analysis of photonic processes or the propagation properties of light beams in Optical Fibers, applications such as the development of devices and systems linked to Optical Communications and the design and development of lasers and Fiber Optic sensors. In addition to other activities, since 2009 it has been developing a fiber sensor project for space activity.
