Advance Program:

Conference Information:
Owing to dramatic progress in speed and
complexity, large scale integrated electronics now enable
powerful digital signal processing at high speeds of
up to 10 Gb/s for fiber optic transmission systems. This progress
has enabled powerful forward error correction (FEC) which has improved
tolerance to amplified stimulated emission noise in the past, and
is expected to increasingly include opportunities like equalization
of dominant linear and non-linear effects by advanced line coding
combined with signal processing.
The meeting will cover methods,
applications and demonstrations of
- Pre-transmission and post-detection DSP
- Advanced FEC and its combination with DSP
- High-speed digital-to-analogue and analogue-to-digital conversion
technologies
- Advanced DSP implementations
- DSP assisted physical layer equalization and impairment abatement
- System design affected by advanced DSP
- System and network design and cost implications of DSP
- Scalability of DSP approaches to higher bit rates
- Comparison between optical and electronic signal processing techniques
It is expected that contributions will address the application
of DSP to systems using square law detection as well
as coherent detection. Contributions that show how DSP techniques
used in wireless communication could be used in optical systems
are also encouraged. In addition, discussion comparing alternative
signal processing techniques with DSP is welcomed.
