Workshops

Workshop 1: AI-based Optics

Organizer

Co-organizers

Qunbi Zhuge, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China

Description: Machine learning (ML) has been widely investigated for both optical transmissions (equalization, coding, telemetry, etc.) and optical networks (modeling, resource allocation, optimization, failure management, etc.). Many interesting research works are reported for various applications. Nevertheless, the adoption of ML techniques in commercial systems falls behind due to many practical issues. In this workshop, we invite speakers from universities, vendors and operators to discuss about the key question: what else is needed for full adoption of ML? The discussions will focus on three aspects: 1) the technological and commercial issues which limit the adoption of ML, 2) the path to address these issues to advance the adoption, and 3) the corresponding roadmap. We will also discuss about open data sources and projects for the community to achieve faster progress in developing and adopting ML-aided applications.

Workshop 2: Photonics for 6G: How and when?

Organizer

Co-organizers
Zhenming Yu, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, China

Description: With the commercialization of 5G, 6G has gradually entered planning. However, Moore's Law is gradually coming to an end. Full-spectrum mobile communication technology will be applied in 6G. Traditional electronic methods are becoming difficult to meet the demands. In this era of photonic information, the entire signal processing chain of wireless communication is gradually migrating to the optical domain. The asynchronous wireless technology platform will be a photon-defined radio system integrating microwave photonic technology, optical computing and photon AI.  According to current research, the continuous wireless technology platform defined by photon can well adapt to the future 6G vision, such as application scenarios, key technologies and system architectures. Coherent radio-over-fiber (CROF), Integrated microwave photonics (IMWP), Photonic digital signal processing (PDSP), and Optical frequency comb (OFC) are expected to lead the design of future radio systems and sensing systems. This workshop aims to provide a forum for international experts to present and discuss the visions and perspectives of photonics for 6G including recent progresses and future prospects and challenges for applications. We welcome people of relevant interest to attend and join the discussions.

Description:

With the development of information technology and quantum computers, the network security issue is increasingly prominent, and a series of threatens exist in the underlying optical networks. At present, there exists two research topics on security in optical networks: one is optical fiber physical layer security, and the other is quantum key distribution. For the former, different solutions such as noise-encrypted optical communication, chaotic based optical communication, spectrum-spread optical communication, hidden based optical communication, and frequency-hopping optical communication can be adopted, which have been experiencing a period of fast development. For the later, the research focus was on point-to-point quantum key distribution system, aiming to improve the generation rate of quantum key, reduce the quantum bit error rate, and increase the quantum key transmission distance. However, it is an urgent need for the deployment of multi-point interconnection for practical applications. This workshop mainly focuses on the above two research topics and their bottleneck issues. By discussing the latest progresses, research directions as well as possible solutions, we try to fundamentally enhance the network security in the future.

Description: Emerging artificial intelligence algorithms have found wide-spread and successful applications in machine vision, speech and pattern recognition, etc. With the difficulties of fabricating more and more integrated electronic components, the performances of the algorithms have been meeting their limitations, determined by Moore’s law and Von Neumann architecture. Neuromorphic computing and optical neural networks enabled by integrated photonics, however, could offer advantages of high speed and low consumption. Presently, the optical computing hardware is highly unexplored yet and awaits more researches. Development of novel materials, design methods, integrated chips, and training procedures is the key for more powerful functionalities in smart applications. 

The aim of this workshop is to bring together leading experts in both nanophotonics and artificial intelligence algorithms to discuss the latest advances and challenges in this field. On the one hand, exploring materials and integrated photonic chips helps the construction of optical neuromorphic computing hardware. On the other hand, machine learning enables more intelligent design of nanophotonic devices with better performances, which could further improve optical systems for diverse applications including optical computing, sensing, communications, etc.

Antonio Napoli, Infinera, Germany

Description: In fiber-optic communication systems and networks, transmission technologies based on the conventional C-band standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) have approached the transmission capacity limit. However, the remaining bandwidth from the low-loss window of the SSMF is still abundant, up to 400 nm. To explore this potential capacity, fiber-optic communication systems based on multi-band wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) have been gathering increasing attentions. With the extension of spectra from the widely adopted C and L bands to additional bands including O, E, S, and U bands, a multi-band fiber-optic transmission system can be realized with an ultra-high spectrum efficiency, so as to cope with the rapid increase of data traffic. This workshop will focus on the key technical aspects that enable the full utilization of these multi-bands. The industrial status, system issues, and technical challenges in realizing such a multi-band optical transmission system will be presented and discussed. Also, new developed multi-band optical devices, such as photonic integrated wavelength selective switches (WSSs), fiber optical amplifiers supporting different or multiple bands in addition to the C band, etc., will be introduced. Other related technologies and open questions will also be discussed in this workshop.

Description: Following the commercial deployment of 5G at the end of 2019, research efforts on 6G are now expended in different countries and organizations. 6G networks are supposed to provide better performances than 5G and satisfy emerging services for Industry 4.0, personalized health, virtual presence, and other challenging applications. Accordingly, it would be necessary to explore different frequency sources to solve the problem of the scarce spectrum, such as wireless optical communication (WOC). WOC, exploiting the spectrum from terahertz to ultraviolet, employs unlicensed bands and high-transmission rates. Correspondingly, it is a promising candidate for short/medium range high-speed wireless communication. Several key research challenges have emerged within the WOC domain, including high data rates, physical layer security, resource allocation, machine-to-machine, underwater links, system network topologies, front-end design and novel photonic material. The proposed special issue will provide an opportunity for a thorough assessment of the current state of WOC across numerous applications, helping to develop the state-of-the-art.
