This conference provides a forum to present the latest advances in optical communication technology and related products. The scope includes technologies for submarine, terrestrial, metro, short-reach, access, data center and free-space transmission links. Some key areas are coherent, wideband and space-division multiplexing technologies. Paper submission on topics ranging from early-stage concepts and controversial solutions to field-experiments are encouraged. Students are invited to submit their thesis work to this conference. Students who are first authors will be considered for the Optical Communications Best Student Paper Award.
Topics for the conference include but are not limited to:
- novel fibers and cables
- advanced components for IM-DD and coherent transceivers
- photonic and optoelectronic integration and CPO
- subsystems including DSP algorithms, AI/ML
- energy efficient components and sub-systems
- ultra-wide band, and space division multiplexing technologies
- novel optical amplifiers and ROADMs
- DSP and analog electrical and optical signal processing
- analog and microwave photonics
- optical switching and networking
- pluggable components for IP over DWDM
- quantum communication and storage
- distributed sensing using optical fiber links
- highly secured optical communication.
