Conventional lightwave receiver incorporates high-speed Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) computation core in order to aid carrier recovery and perform channel equalization. This talk examines a computation-free FFT alternative architecture and discussed its implications.
We will review recent progress in high-density integration of photonics into switching systems and discuss future approaches to even tighter photonics integration to multi-chip modules and interposers highlighting critical challenges and opportunities.
We report on the development of optical engines based upon multi-channel Extended C-Band tunable InP PICs operating up to 44Gbaud, 16-QAM for a total capacity of 4.9 Tb/s.
Nearly half the world population, greater than three billion in total, has either no access or fairly poor access to the internet. Facebook, through its internet.org partnership intends to provide internet access to the developing countries of the world. The required data-rate to provide internet service to those online simultaneously in these countries is estimated at well over 100 Tbps; a staggering...
Drawing from experience gained through the Bristol-Is-Open project, we will discuss the opportunity of utilising flexible optical and 5G wireless connectivity for supporting emerging smart-city services including autonomous transport, connected homes and critical event prevention/management.
The talk reviews a higher-order modulation method that approaches Shannon capacity extremely closely. The design, called Probabilistic Amplitude Shaping (PAS), is layered, rate adaptive, systematic, and can substantially improve communication over fiber and wireless links.
Customer expectations of next generation communications solutions include higher speeds, shorter latency, and shorter response times for not only the 5G radio links but also for the full end to end network itself. We will detail the new challenges and some solutions which are required to meet these expectations.
Provides an abstract of the keynote presentation and a brief professional biography of the presenter. The complete presentation was not made available for publication as part of the conference proceedings.
This paper discuss ultrafast laser fabrication of 3D lightwave circuits in optical fibers and glass substrates for optical interconnects. The interaction between embedded waveguides and surface optical structures produced by semiconductor microfabrication will be discussed.
Ubiquitous wireless connectivity and pervasive ultra-high-speed broadband access networks underpin smart cities and smart nations. This paper examines some of the challenges and technological trade-offs that face governments and communities seeking to enhance public communications infrastructure.
L2/L3 forwarding requirements determine what Programmable (SDN) Networking means for transport networks. The end of Moore's law (16–7 nm silicon) and optical channel capacity (Shannon-Nyquist limits) pose constraints on hardware architectures. We look at how programmable L2/L3 SDN maps to technology contrained physical architectures.

Presents the introductory welcome message from the conference proceedings. May include the conference officers' congratulations to all involved with the conference event and publication of the proceedings record.
Elastic optical networks are based on a flexible allocation of the spectrum and configurable transponders. The control architecture is key to unlock their potential. This paper presents the architectural choices, including GMPLS, SDN and TAPI.
