Leading industry lights talk to Keely Portway about the challenges and opportunities faced by the optical communications supply chain in the last 12 months, and predict what could lie ahead
The recent virtual OFC Conference covered some of the industry’s hottest topics. Keely Portway reports from the Market Watch conference talk about the current state of the industry.
Organisers of the Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exhibition (OFC) have taken the decision to change the 2021 event’s format from a hybrid physical-digital to an all-virtual event.
A team of researchers from the University of Southampton in the UK and Université Laval in Canada, have successfully measured back-reflection in next generation hollow-core fibres.
Researchers from Duke University and Facebook’s Connectivity Lab have created a new plasmonic metasurface that achieves record high light efficiency over the entire centimetre-scale metasurface.
This year’s OFC event, which will take place 06-10 June 2021 has announced its plenary speakers.
A team of researchers from the University of Southampton's Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) have demonstrated the first all-silicon optical transmitter at 100Gb/s and beyond without the use of digital signal processing (DSP).
The Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exhibition (OFC 2021) will now take place from 6 -10, June.
OFC is the largest global conference and exhibition for optical communications and networking professionals. The program is comprehensive - from research to marketplace, from components to systems and networks and from technical sessions to the exhibition. For over 40 years, OFC has drawn attendees from all corners of the globe to meet and greet, teach and learn, make connections and move the industry forward.
The Optical Society (OSA) is implementing measures to make sure that the health and well-being of its global community is protected.
