Exhibition


The conference theme is structered into six major topic areas:

1) Fibres, Fibre Devices, and Amplifiers

This area focuses on optical fibres, their fabrication and characterization, the physics of light propagation in optical fibres, fibre amplifiers and lasers, as well as fibre-based devices for communication and sensor applications.

2) Waveguide and Optoelectronic Devices

This area focuses on the fabrication, performance testing, and reliability of devices and components used to generate, amplify, detect, switch, or process optical signals. Technologies include planar-waveguides, bulk-optics, and photonic bandgap structures based on various material systems.

3) Subsystems and Network Elements for Optical Networks

This area focuses on the modelling, design, and implementation of optical, opto-electronic, or electrical subsystems and network elements for fixed or adaptive impairment mitigation, performance monitoring, add-drop multiplexing, and optical packet processing.

4) Transmission Systems

This area focuses on the modelling, design, and implementation of optical fibre or free-space transmission links, highlighting system-level applications of subsystems and networking elements as well as system-level implications of physical impairments and impairment mitigation techniques. It further covers applications of quantum information technologies.

5) Backbone and Core Networks

This area focuses on the modelling, design, architecture, and scaling of optical WDM and packet-based backbone and metro-core networks, including control and management functions and protocols as well as the application of optical communication technologies in core networks. It also covers aspects of successful commercial deployments and transport field trials.

6) Access Networks and LAN

This area focuses on networking aspects of broadband optical access and local-area networks. It covers FTTx, passive optical networks, radio-over-fiber systems, hybrid wireless/optical solutions, and in-building networks. It also comprises successful commercial mass deployments, field trials, and applications of optical communication technologies in public, private and enterprise networks.
