Qiongyue Kang Photonics, 2015

Qiongyue is working towards averting network gridlock and reducing energy consumption. Participating in the large-scale European research project, MODEGAP, she has been developing the disruptive technology and concepts to enhance today’s communications infrastructure.

My interests lay in design and optimisation of multimode Erbium Doped Fibre Amplifiers for mode-division multiplexed transmissions. Strong support from the ORC’s fabrication and characterisation teams has allowed my fibre designs to be realised in-house.

Qiongyue joined the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) after her undergraduate tutor recommended it as the best place to study a PhD in photonics. “My interests lay in design and optimisation of multimode Erbium Doped Fibre Amplifiers for mode-division multiplexed transmissions. Strong support from the ORC’s fabrication and characterisation teams has allowed my fibre designs to be realised in-house.

Qiongyue has since been awarded an EPSRC Doctoral Fellowship to increase the impact of her PhD: “This fellowship is recognition of my work and acts as a stepping stone of my academic career. It will definitely help me to continue my hard work and contribute more to the photonics community in the years to come.
