About

Besma Kalla received her Bachelor degree from the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IGEE), Algeria. She then went on to pursue a double master's degree through the Erasmus Mundus program on Innovative Microwave, Electronics, and Optics (EMIMEO), where she had the opportunity to study in three different countries: France, Italy, and the UK. During her time at Aston University, Besma developed a strong interest for optical fiber communication. For her thesis, she worked in the AIPT lab of the University in partnership with EFFECT Photonics, on characterizing high-speed photonic integrated circuit-based optical transceivers.

Project Objectives:

  • Generate the complete transfer function for a range of SDM components and systems based on few mode, multi core and few mode multicore fibres and fibre components;
  • Develop advanced MIMO equalization DSP which out perform Zero forcing or MMSE based equalizers;
  • Demonstrate a MIMO Space division multiplexing based on a few- mode, coupled-core or multi-mode fibre developed by DC8;

Expected Results: 1. Generate the complete transfer function for a range of SDM components and systems based on few mode, multi core and few mode multicore fibres and fibre components. 2. Develop advanced MIMO equalization DSP which out perform Zero forcing or MMSE based equalizers. 3. Show MIMO Space division multiplexing based on a few- mode, coupled-core or multi-mode fibre developed by DC (OFS fibre).
