This section is dedicated to providing some background into what we do. The project involves many different technical disciplines, such as optical engineering, electrical engineering, physics, mathematics, and computer science. This provides many unique opportunties for research, as well as for multi-faceted projects!
The above is a simplification of our communication system - the signal is generated using a laser and SLM where it propagates though a complex medium. The distorted and attenuated signal is received on a screen by our camera, and demultiplexed using a convolutional neural network.
