Centre for Ultrahigh-bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems (cudos)
Welcome to CUDOS @ Macquarie
The Centre for Ultrahigh-bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems (CUDOS) is an ARC funded Centre of Excellence collaboration combining the established expertise of researchers at the University of Sydney, ANU, Macquarie University, Swinburne University, RMIT, and the University of Technology Sydney. The Centre’s mission is to demonstrate all-optical processing applications and devices for ultra-high bandwidth optical telecommunications.
CUDOS @ Macquarie has a range of research interests involving micro-fabricating and characterising photonic devices. In particular, the group draws on over 10 years of expertise developed within the Centre for Lasers and Applications in miniaturisation engineering and laser physics. Projects include the fabrication of 2-D photonic crystals, integrated optics, waveguides, optoelectronic components and radiation dynamics of guided wave systems.
