| The Northwestern
University Center for Photonic Communication and Computing (CPCC)
conducts leading edge fundamental science and engineering research
that leads to the development of advanced photonic communication
and computing systems. Specifically, the focus of research is
on optical and optoelectronic systems that push the technological
limits to ever increasing speeds or levels of integration or exploit
the fundamental laws of nature to accomplish communication, signal
processing, and computing in radically new ways. The Center provides
a venue for collaboration, coordination, dissemination, and promotion
of research and teaching activities in the above areas. We are
located at the McCormick School of Engineering on the Evanston
Campus of Northwestern University. |
