IACOP-OCSN'24: Optical Communication Systems and Networks

The development of optical technologies for long-haul optical transmission, intra- and inter-data center interconnects (DCI) and short distance access systems will continue to drive the growing demand for high-capacity and high-efficiency optical communications. Optical communication systems must not only further improve capacity and transmission distance, but must also cooperate with fiber optic sensing technology to realize real-time sensing of system working status and further design and optimize the optical network, to the aim of realizing the optimal allocation and efficient use of network resources and improving the efficiency of the entire network. In this regard, optical transmission, optical fiber sensing and intelligent network management technologies form the technical basis of optical communication, sensing and network. IACOP-OCSN'24 aims to provide a platform for global researchers to exchange and cooperate, and to discuss the emerging important technologies in optical communication systems and networks.

IACOP-OCSN'24 Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following

  • Fiber-optic communication systems
  • WDM, OTDM, SDM, and optical subcarrier-multiplexed technologies
  • Free-space and underwater optical communication links and the mitigation of channel effects
  • Effects of fiber nonlinearities and other transmission impairments on system performance
  • System applications of optical amplifiers and photonic devices
  • All-optical processing in devices, subsystems, and networks
  • Advanced optical modulation formats, coherent detection, and advanced receivers
  • Digital signal processing and error correction techniques for optical systems
  • Telecommunications applications of microwave photonics
  • Network elements and subsystems for routing and switching
  • Architecture, networking, control and management technologies for optical networks
