UROOF

Ultrawide band Radio over Fibre

Project status

Completed in 2009

CIP involvement

CIP are the technology partner responsible for the development of all of the optoelectronic components on the project, including the monolithic SOA-EAM reflective modulator device and the hybrid tuneable 10Gb/s laser transmitter.

About UROOF

UROOF is addressing the challenging problem of low-cost and high performance conversion of high data rate communication signals from optical domain (over single mode and multimode fibre) to radio frequency domain and vice-versa. UROOF focus on photonic components and device concepts that apply for transmission of Ultra-wideband (UWB) radio signal over hybrid wireless/fibre networks.
