Lightwave Communications Research Lab

If you are a graduate student interested in joining our lab , please check off the box “Optics and Photonics” on your application and mention Prof. Prucnal in your essay. Contact Colleen Conrad with any general questions about admission to the graduate program in Electrical Engineering at Princeton.  Her email is cconrad@princeton.edu.  If you are an undergraduate, feel free to contact Prof. Prucnal directly with any questions.

Fiber optics forms the backbone of communication systems and the Internet, and the demand for higher data rates and bandwidth continues to grow exponentially. Although electronics are used in a plethora of modern day devices and technologies, they cannot outpace the speed, bandwidth, and power efficiency of optics.
