Cristian Antonelli, FIRST project manager, has been appointed 2021 Summer Topicals Meeting Series chair.

FIRST partners consider submitting their work on “Hot Topics” related to the general field of Photonics to this withstanding congress.

Many speakers presented FIRST results at past #ECOC2020! You can still watch the presentations here.

Follow us again in next conferences… #passion4photonics

During CNIT LAB TALK at 5G Italy 2020, Cristian Antonelli (Università degli Studi dell’Aquila) presented the Laboratorio Nazionale di Fibre Ottiche Avanzate per Fotonica (L’Aquila) providing a little glimpse also on FIRST project.

#passion4photonics #5G #l’Aquila

We are looking forward to next month. So many good speakers will inform you about FIRST activities during ECOC2020.

Due to Covid19 time FIRST partners met online on October 21st. Discussing our project results was a good way to celebrate the https://day-of-photonics.org/ #DayofPhotonics #l’Aquila #FIRST #SDM #Photonics

Politecnico di Milano hosted the #KoM of the #PRIN2017 project FIRST. Partners from the most prominent Italian optical communication research groups joined for the first time. We started the activities aimed at providing a revolutionary approach based on Space-division multiplexing #SDM on few-mode fibers (FMFs) and multi-core fibers (MCFs) deployed in L’Aquila. The results of #FIRST will provide the ultimate demonstration of SDM transmission, well out of reach of lab experiments relying on spooled fibers. #Photonics
