The Formation of CUDOS

by our reporter: Cameron Smith
May 07, 2007

The Centre for Ultrahigh-bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems (CUDOS) has been in existence for over four years now, after its bid to the Australian Research Council was accepted in December 2002.

All-Optical Switching Workshop

CUDOS offered 3rd and 4th year science and engineering students a unique opportunity to learn more about recent advances of photonics - towards the all-optical chip - in an original 2 day Science School and workshop with the leading researchers in the field in Australia.
