About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Optical fiber telecommunications contribute to change our socio-economic landscape, by allowing interconnectivity among individuals and/or organizations on the global scale.
To support these requirements, optical fiber systems are constantly being expanded and upgraded.
Bell Labs hosts a world-class optical transmission lab, with a longstanding history of pioneering hero experiments in the past 20 years, which are widely recognized by the research community.
Upcoming systems in the field of optical communications are expected to address different needs spreading over various market segments.
Their development associated with a refined modeling of the networks requires a system design that draws on information and communication theory.
For reliable and high-speed communications, an important and remarkable development has been the advent of channel coding techniques based on large-scale probabilistic models.
Modern coding and signal processing permit to operate close to Shannon’s theoretical limits while keeping low computational complexity.
New types of fibers are also emerging to support the demand for higher capacity.
As an intern at Bell Labs “optics” you will get familiar with state-of-the-art research on advanced optical systems/DSP and take part to the development of next-gen optical communications.
You will acquire an operational understanding of optical technologies and communications.
You will be asked to work on high-speed system experiments through lab automation and advanced DSP.
This work covers both software and hardware developments.
Duration 4-6 months
