Advanced Digital Signal Processing in Next Generation Fiber Optic Transmission

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.
