New funding for PRIN2022 project “SURENET” (Surveillance of the URban Environment exploiting deployed optical NETworks)
The Italy Research Ministry has published in May 2023 the result of the selection process for the PRIN2022 national research funds (link to the MIUR web page): we are very happy that our project proposal titled “SURENET” (Surveillance of the URban Environment exploiting deployed optical NETworks) was approved! We are eager to start working on it together with our colleagues at Politecnico di Milano!
EU projects ALLEGRO and EWOC: towards new paradigms for future agile optical fiber networks
Here in PhotoNext we are "getting into full steam" for the research activities on two new EU projects we are involved in:
- ALLEGRO: “Agile ultra low energy secure networks”
- EWOC: “Enabling Virtualized Wireless and Optical Coexistence for 5G and Beyond”
Please visit the respective web sites for further information.
Best Demo Award for two PhD students of ours at the EUROCON2023 Conference
We are happy to announce that two PhD students of ours won the Best Demo Award at the EUROCON2023 Conference!
The paper title is "Near Real-Time Visualization of Fiber Bragg Gratings Sensor Values Through Desktop Applications and Augmented Reality":
Let us congratulate Alessandro Aimasso and Antonio Costantino Marceddu!
1st “PhotoNext Researchers' Day”: presentation from our PhD students in Photonics
UPDATE: in the new version of this page, you can also find the .pdf presentations given by all participants.
We are happy to announce the first edition of the "PhotoNext Researcher's Day", that will take place on June 19, 2023, from 14:00 to 18:30 in the Maxwell Room, Department of Electronics and Telecommunications, Politecnico di Torino.
The goal of the event is to allow PhD students of the PhotoNext Center to present their research activities in the area of Photonics and to “mix&match” scientific ideas and relations.
The event is open to everyone!
Roberto Gaudino and Alberto Tibaldi
New paper published today on IEEE Photonic Journal
A new paper of ours was published today in IEEE Photonic Journal: it proposes a novel method for fast alarm generation in case of anomalous events (like large rockfalls or debris flows) in the alpine environment, using polarization-based fiber sensing.
Title: Algorithm Optimization for Rockfalls Alarm System Based on Fiber Polarization Sensing
Authors: Saverio Pellegrini; Giuseppe Rizzelli; Marco Barla; Roberto Gaudino

Congratulations to all the co-authors!
Timetable for the lab closure in 2023
The days of LINKS Foundation (and consequently PhotoNext main Laboratory) closures for 2023 have been released. Please read this news to know the details.
Photonext and the II-level Master in "Quantum Communication and Computing"
The student of the II-level Master in "Quantum Communication and Computing" visited our laboratories. You can find all details here.
New paper on IEEE/OPTICA Journal of Lightwave Technology!
A new paper of ours was published today in IEEE/OPTICA Journal of Lightwave Technology: it proposes a computationally very efficient semi-analytical model to predict the performance of ultra-high speed #fiber #coherent transmission systems when polarization dependent loss and bandwidth limitations are particularly relevant.
- Title: An Analytical Model for Coherent Transmission Performance Estimation after Generic Jones Matrices
- Authors: Giuseppe Rizzelli, Pablo Torres-Ferrera, and Roberto Gaudino,

MetroAerospace 2023 - Special session on Optical and Innovative Sensors for Aerospace
The Aerospace team that works inside PhotoNext has organized a Special session on "Optical and Innovative Sensors for Aerospace" in the MetroAerospace 2023 Conference, which will be held in Milan on 2023, June 19-21.
This Session is perfectly superimposed with the PhotoNext research topics on Aerospace applications. Paolo Maggiore and Matteo Dalla Vedova are among the organizers, please contact them for further details.
A new paper of ours was published today in Optics Express!
A new paper of ours was published today in Optics Express (OPTICA Journal) on a possible solution for future optical access network (for FTTH and Fronthauling on PON above 50 Gbit/s per lambda and in particular on 200G PON). This is another paper from the research group of mine that focuses on physical layer solutions for Passive Optical Networks.
Title: "Analysis and experiments on C band 200G coherent PON based on Alamouti polarization-insensitive receivers"
Authors: Abir Hraghi, Giuseppe Rizzelli, Annachiara Pagano, Valter Ferrero and Roberto Gaudino
It is an open access paper, so you can read it “for free” :-) at this link.
Congratulations to all the co-authors!
