UNIVERZA V LJUBLJANI (LUB)
Short description of the participating partner organization
The Department for Electrical Engineering of the University of Ljubljana (Slovenia) (LUB) will be mainly involved in WP3 for developing the high-speed electronic interface circuitry required for frequency stabilization.
The Department for Electrical Engineering of the University of Ljubljana (Slovenia), was actively involved in designing advanced microwave and radar equipment in two laboratories for microwaves and antennas. After the economic crisis and collapse of Yugoslavia the key personnel and test equipment were diverted to civilian projects like optical communications. The new laboratory of Optical communications was formed also with the help of the European Union through the Tempus project.
The laboratory of Optical communications of the University of Ljubljana currently includes two senior and four junior researchers. Our specialty is high-speed electronic interface circuitry for optical communications. We can design, manufacture and test high-speed electronic circuits, as demonstrated in the Ester (ACTS 063) and ATLAS (IST 10626) projects. Our test equipment includes a high-speed oscilloscope (40GHz electrical, 30GHz optical), RF spectrum analyzers up to 50GHz, optical FP spectrum analyzers, variable optical attenuators, optical power meters, vector network analyzers up to 20GHz, scalar network analyzers up to 40GHz, various RF sources to 40GHz and various optical sources for 1.3um and 1.55um.
The effort by Laboratory of Optical Communications is not only limited to the high-speed electronic interface circuitry. This laboratory is open for co-operation in the Next Generation Networking with other partners who wish to see the results of their R&D on electronic devices.

Short description of the participants (in alphabetical order)
Matjaz Vidmar received his BSEE and MSEE from the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia in 1980 and 1983 respectively. He received his PhD in 1992, also from the University of Ljubljana, for developing a single frequency GPS ionospheric correction receiver. Mr. Vidmar is currently teaching undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Electrical Engineering at the University of Ljubljana, where he serves as head of the Radiation and Optics Laboratory (LSO - Laboratorij za Sevanje in Optiko) at the department for Electrical Engineering (FE - Fakulteta za Elektrotehniko). His current research interests include microwave and high speed electronics ranging from avionics to optical-fiber communications. Under his leadership, the LSO developed most of the 10Gbps electronics (pulse modulator, clock recovery) used in the Ester (ACTS 063) project and many 40Gbps circuits used in the ATLAS (IST 10626) project: EAM drivers, transmitter clock distribution, 40Gbps and 80Gbps clock-recovery circuits and 40Gbps PMD compensation receiver electronics. Mr. Vidmar also developed and built satellite hardware flown in space in 1990 on the Microsat mission and in 2000 on the AMSAT-P3D satellite.
