Welcome to the McGill Photonics DataComm Team

The Photonics DataComm Team, led by Prof. Odile Liboiron-Ladouceur at McGill University, conducts research on advanced integrated photonic systems for next-generation optical communications. The group focuses on mode-division multiplexing, inverse-designed photonic devices, and scalable silicon photonic computing platforms.
