Workshop: Next-Generation Fibers for High Capacity Transmission—Radical Solutions

Talks

Abstract

Driven by the exponentially growing demand for capacity, it is already apparent that the next generation of telecommunication networks will be radically different from previous implementations; coherent detection along with powerful digital signal processing will be deployed to maximize the available capacity of each fiber strand within the network. However, applied in isolation these techniques will only delay the inevitable "capacity crunch" by a few years and without radical innovation in the basic internet infrastructure future internet growth will be severely constrained. Research on new transmission fibers and amplifiers is therefore now urgently required. In this workshop we will review and discuss some of the potential technological options and consider their potential and viability of these from a capacity, power handling and energy sustainability perspective.

Optical fiber

An optical fiber, or optical fibre in Commonwealth English, is a flexible, transparent fiber made by drawing glass (silica) or plastic to a diameter slightly thicker than that of a human hair. Optical fibers are used most often as a means to transmit light between the two ends of the fiber and find wide usage in fiber-optic communications, where they permit transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data transfer rates) than electrical cables.

Generation

A generation refers to all of the people born and living at about the same time, regarded collectively. It can also be described as, "the average period, generally considered to be about 20–⁠30 years, during which children are born and grow up, become adults, and begin to have children." In kinship terminology, it is a structural term designating the parent-child relationship. It is known as biogenesis, reproduction, or procreation in the biological sciences.

Digital signal processing

Digital signal processing (DSP) is the use of digital processing, such as by computers or more specialized digital signal processors, to perform a wide variety of signal processing operations. The digital signals processed in this manner are a sequence of numbers that represent samples of a continuous variable in a domain such as time, space, or frequency. In digital electronics, a digital signal is represented as a pulse train, which is typically generated by the switching of a transistor.
