Signal Processing in Photonics Communications (SPPCom)

14 - 17 July 2013
Rio Mar Beach Resort, Rio Grande, PuertoRico

SPPCom is your home to learn about the photonic transmission technology required in communication networks of all kind - from access to long haul and submarine.

Photonic transmission technology is required in communication networks of all kinds - from access to long haul, and to submarine. Moreover, multicore or multimode optical fiber, free-space, polymer and on-chip communication channels are becoming ever more important in a broad range of applications, including data centers, sensor networks, free space communications, and feeding radio over fiber. For many bandwidth-hungry applications, simple data communications approaches, such as intensity modulation with direct detection, are no longer adequate given data impairments, increased system capacity, and required spectral efficiency. As an example, more advanced equalization and forward error correction (FEC) technologies are now penetrating into high-end metro and core networks as well as into lower-end short MMF link equipment. Significant system performance enhancement has been obtained.
