Lightwave Communication Research Group (LCRG)

The Lightwave Communication Research Group (LCRG) was established in 2006 at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, to conduct photonic-based research. The group builds on the legacy of the Optic Research Group, which started researching photonics at the faculty in 1986. LCRG consists of experienced researchers in the fields of photonics and telecommunications, and has access to state-of-the-art facilities for simulating, fabricating, and characterizing optical devices and systems. The group’s main activities include R&D and consultation services related to photonic-based telecommunication devices, systems, and technologies. The group aims to develop and test innovative products that will enhance Malaysia’s progress in science and technology, especially in optical communication. The group also provides high-quality system design, consultation services, and calibration of optical measurement equipment. LCRG is committed to advancing the knowledge and practice of photonics-based telecommunication through its R&D and services.
