His paper demonstrates plasmonic ring resonator modulators operating at 480Gbit/s with an achievable information rate (AIR) of 461Gbit/s in an intensity modulation and direct detection (IM/DD) experiment. The modulator features low insertion loss of 1.2 dB, a flat bandwidth in excess of 110 GHz. Our sincere congratulations!
Dr. Gregor Dürrenberger, the founder and previous leader of Swiss Research Foundation for Electricity and Mobile Communication (FSM), received Swiss Telecommunication Award at the annual Swiss Telecommunication Summit of ASUT (Schweizericher Verband der Telekommunikation). Dr. Dürrenberger has received this award for his longtime engagement, motivation, and visions in building up and leading FSM, as well as for his popularization of EMF-thematic. Our sincere congratulations!
