The properties of light are already exploited in communications, the Internet of Things, big data, manufacturing, biomedical applications, sensing and imaging, and are behind many of the inventions that we take for granted today. Nevertheless, there is still a plethora of emerging applications with the potential to effect positive transformations to our future societies and economies. UK researchers develop cutting-edge technologies that will make these applications a reality. The characteristics of these technologies already surpass the operating wavelength range and electronic bandwidth of our existing measurement equipment (as well as other facilities in the UK), which currently forms a stumbling block to demonstrating capability, and eventually generating impact. Several important developments, relating for example, to integrated photonic technologies capable of operating at extremely high speeds or the invention of new types of optical fibres and amplifiers that are capable of breaking the traditional constraints of conventional silica glass technology, necessitate the use of ever more sophisticated equipment to evaluate the full extent of their capabilities.This project aims at establishing an open experimental facility for the UK research community that will enable its users to experiment over a wide range of wavelengths, and generate, detect and analyse signals at unprecedented speeds. The new facility will enable the characterisation of signals in time and will offer a detailed analysis of their frequency components. Coherent detection will be possible, thereby offering information on both the amplitude and phase characteristics of the signals.This unique capability will enable its users to devise and execute a range of novel experiments. For example, it will be possible to experiment using signals, such as those that will be adopted in the communication networks of the future. It will make it possible to reveal the characteristics of novel devices and components to an extent that has previously not been possible. It will also be possible to analyse the response of experimental systems in unprecedented detail. The facility will benefit from being situated at the University of Southampton, which has established strong experimental capabilities in areas, such as photonics, communications and the life sciences. Research at the extended cleanroom complex of Southampton's Zepler Institute, a unique facility in UK academia, will benefit from the availability of this facility, which will enable fabrication and advanced applications research to be intimately connected.Furthermore, this new facility will be attached to EPSRC's National Dark Fibre Facility - this is the UK National Research Facility for fibre network research, offering access and control over the optical layer of a dedicated communications network for research-only purposes. The two together will create an experimental environment for communications research that is unique internationally.

光的特性已经在通信，物联网，大数据，制造，生物医学应用，传感和成像中得到利用，并且是我们今天理所当然的许多发明的背后。然而，仍然有许多新兴应用，有可能对我们未来的社会和经济产生积极的转变。英国研究人员开发了最先进的技术，将这些应用程序成为现实。这些技术的特性已经超过了我们现有测量设备（以及英国其他设施）的工作波长范围和电子带宽，该设备目前构成了证明能力并最终产生影响的绊脚石。例如，与能够以极高的速度运行或发明新型的光纤和放大器的发明能够破坏传统硅胶技术的传统限制的新型的新型光纤和放大器的发明的几个重要发展，例如，新型的光纤和放大器的发明，必须使用更加精致的设备来启用其启动的设备，以使其在开放的范围内促进其实验性的范围。波长，并以前所未有的速度生成，检测和分析信号。新设施将使信号的表征能够及时地进行表征，并将对其频率组件进行详细的分析。连贯的检测将是可能的，从而提供有关信号振幅和相位特征的信息。此独特功能将使用户能够设计和执行一系列新颖的实验。例如，可以使用信号进行实验，例如未来通信网络中将采用的信号。它将有可能在以前无法实现的程度上揭示新型设备和组件的特征。还可以通过前所未有的细节来分析实验系统的响应。该设施将受益于位于南安普敦大学（University of Southampton），该大学在光子学，传播和生命科学等领域建立了强大的实验能力。英国学术界的独特设施的南安普敦Zepler研究所扩展的洁净室建筑群的研究将受益于该设施的可用性，该设施将使制造和高级应用研究与EPSRC的国民研究机构相连，这将与EPSRC的国民研究机构相关联，这是furthermore的选择。仅出于研究目的。两者一起为国际独特的通信研究创造了一个实验环境。
