Welcome Address
ECOC is the largest conference on optical communication in Europe. It is one of the most respected and long-standing events of its kind in the world, only second to the worlds largest, the yearly Optical Fiber Conference in the USA. ECOC 2012, from 16 to 21 Sep. 2012 in Amsterdam, will be the 38th edition, which indicates its stability and attractiveness as one of the worlds major events in this field as a prime forum for new developments and results in optical communication techniques, systems and networks. ECOC travels around Europe from year to year and now returns to Amsterdam again. It was held here for the first time in 1979, and subsequently in 1990 and 2001. Amsterdam thus has become the city that has hosted ECOC most frequently and so ECOC is coming home in 2012. Reflecting the increasing interest in the field of optical communication both in research and engineering, the event has grown considerably since 1979, both in size and importance. It successfully withstood the internet-bubble and the crisis in the telecommunication industry. ECOC 2001 in Amsterdam was the largest ever with respect to participants and size of the exhibition. ECOC 2011 in Geneva was a great success again, and ECOC 2012 will continue this spirit with an impressive number of conference papers and exhibitor booths from all over the world. About 50% of the conference delegates are from Europe, 30% come from Asia/Pacific and 20 % from North America: ECOC is thus a truly global conference. The latest advances in optical communication technologies will be reported, from fibers, components and systems up to networks. ECOC should not be missed by anyone interested in optical communication, such as researchers, product engineers, sales managers and telecommunication market developers. Leading-edge technical progress will be reported in diligently selected papers in a blend of keynote addresses, invited and regularly contributed papers, tutorial papers, and special symposia that put a specific theme in focus. The Workshops on Sunday Sep. 16 offer ample opportunities for interaction on the hottest research topics. Moreover, as has occurred every two years since 2006, within ECOC2012 there will be CLEO Focus sessions to report the latest results from basic research in optical communication technologies. This years programme features a plenary session on Monday morning (Sept. 17th) with talks by Dr. Philippe Keryer, President Networks Group, Alcatel-Lucent, France, Mr. Ruchir Rodrigues, Corporate Vice President Product Strategy and Development, Verizon, U.S.A,, Prof. Yasuhiko Arakawa, Director of Nanoelectronics Research Center, University of Tokyo, Japan, and Prof. Erik Huizer, Director Technology, SURFnet, The Netherlands. The bulk of the conference program focuses on invited and contributed technical papers. These have been carefully selected for oral or poster presentation by an outstanding technical program committee, comprising around 100 well-known experts of the field. It is organized in 6 sub-committees: Fibers, Fiber Devices and Amplifiers, Waveguides and Optoelectronic Devices, Subsystems and Network Elements for Optical Networks, Transmission Systems, Backbone and Core Networks, and Access Networks and LANs. Two special symposia are organized on two hot topics in the field. These symposia are bringing together a list of well-respected speakers and will cover "Indoor optical networks - a promising way to a converged service delivery" (Monday 17 Sep.) and "Energy Consumption of the Internet" (Wednesday 19 Sep.). You may also take the opportunity to visit the lively city of Amsterdam, with its world-famous 200+ kilometers of small canals in the old city part, its renowned museums with paintings of the old Dutch masters (Rembrandt, Van Gogh and other renowned artists), its numerous international restaurants, cosy pubs, and so on. You may consider a sightseeing tour in the immediate surroundings, to visit typical Dutch windmills, cheese markets, traditional fishermen villages, etc. The ECOC 2012 organization has prepared an exciting event, supplementing the technical program with the traditional social events that include a Dutch Evening on Monday Sep. 17, and on Wednesday Sep. 19 a Gala dinner and cruise on board of the "Saloon Steamer The Prins van Oranje" which originates from early last century and wallows in the wealth and grandeur with which we associate private clubs of these times. We look forward to welcoming you to Amsterdam for a very exciting experience!!

WS1: Plasmonics for Optical Interconnects: Challenges and Opportunities
Chairs: Alain Dereux, Institute Carnot de Bourgogne, University of Burgundy, France Contact: adereux@u-bourgogne.fr Juerg Leuthold, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany - Contact: Juerg.Leuthold@kit.edu Dimitrios Apostolopoulos, National Technical University of Athens, Greece Contact: apostold@mail.ntua.gr Abstract Plasmonics is emerging as a promising technology platform towards enabling the deployment of smallfootprint and low-energy integrated circuitry, holding a great promise for chip-scale and high integration density optical interconnects. This new discipline relies on the propagation of electromagnetic waves along a metal-dielectric interface, yielding in this way strong mode confinement factors while seamlessly interfacing photonics and electronics. Its credentials to drive next-generation optical interconnects into new performance metrics have led to intense research during the last years for bringing plasmonics from proof-of-principle demonstrations into system-qualified device development concepts. Motivated by the recent evolutions in the field of plasmonics for optical interconnect applications, this workshop aims to collect the latest achievements across all relevant concepts, fabrication techniques, waveguide technologies, components, devices and systems that could potentially be utilized in the areas of datacom and computercom. Besides introducing this exciting topic to the ECOC community, this Workshop aims to address the practical application perspectives of this technology as well as the remaining challenges to be tackled on the way to their application in next-generation interconnects. In a nutshell, this workshop covers the following topics: Plasmonic technology in optical interconnection Plasmonics & Silicon Photonics CMOS compatible plasmonic structures Plasmonic active elements and systems (detectors, switches, modulators) Plasmonic waveguides Plasmonic amplification Presentations Technology Roadmap of Optical Interconnection Richard Pitwon, Xyratex, UK Long Range Plasmonics for Chip-scale Circuitry Jung Jin Ju, Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute ETRI, Republic of Korea Active Plasmonics for Optical Interconnects Sergey I.

WS2: Silicon Hybrid Photonics
Chairs: Wim Bogaerts, Photonics Research Group, Ghent University imec, Belgium Contact : wim.bogaerts@intec.ugent.be Peter Gunter, Rainbow Photonics AG Zrich, Switzerland - Contact : gunter@rainbowphotonics.com Gunther Roelkens; Ghent University -- imec, Belgium - Contact: gunther.roelkens@intec.ugent.be Abstract The workshop is an initiative of the EU FP7 project SOFI: Silicon-Organic hybrid Fabrication platform for Integrated circuits. Silicon photonics is one of the most promising technologies for large-scale photonic integration. Powered by state-of-the-art CMOS manufacturing technology and a high index contrast, compact and complex passive circuits are now possible. However, silicon is far from the best material for active optical elements, such as modulators, switches, detectors, and especially light sources. Therefore, there is a strong drive to hybridize the silicon platform with novel materials, without compromising its advantages. In this workshop, we will discuss the many different materials and integration approaches for a variety of on-chip optical functions. However, this is often not straightforward, as the introduction of novel material poses significant technical challenges in terms of process integration, and jeopardizes CMOS compatibility, which is one of the strong assets of silicon photonics. In this workshop, the speakers will approach the challenge of Silicon hybrid photonics from various angles. Choice of materials: For improved optical performance, there is a wealth of materials on hand: III-V semiconductors, polymers, magneto-optic materials, and a wide range of nano-scale materials and composites. Integration technologies: Integrating these different materials on a silicon platform can be done in various ways. Some seemingly straightforward such as spin-coating, some quite challenging, such as hetero-epitaxy. Different technologies are being discussed. Optical functionality: Different materials can be used for different optical functions: light sources need different materials than optical isolators or electro-optic modulators. Choosing the right material for each function is quite a challenge And these functions, integration schemes and materials have to come together in a single integration flow, with a technological route towards manufacturing in a CMOS compatible process flow, which puts its own boundaries in terms contamination, temperature budgets and yield.

WS4: Next Generation Optical and Converged Access Networks Opportunities, Challenges and Implications
Chairs: Christoph Lange, Deutsche Telekom, Germany - Contact: Christoph.Lange@telekom.de Dirk Breuer, Deutsche Telekom, Germany - Contact: D.Breuer@telekom.de Erik Weis, Deutsche Telekom, Germany - Contact: Erik.Weis@telekom.de Abstract Access networks are expected to be subject to significant changes in the not-to-distant future. Major trends observed in telecommunication networks are an evolution from service-specific networks stovepipes per service towards networks with a universal layered architecture, a development towards fibre to the home (FTTH) access networks as well as the close interaction of mobile radio networks with fixed networks. Those trends are expected to result in a change of the networking paradigm requiring a converged next generation access network that allows for a network re-configuration with the overall target of a cost-minimized broadband service delivery. Future access networks likely will be very different from conventional telephone access networks which rely in transmission performance and also in their structure on the characteristics of copper wires: In particular the physical characteristics of optical fibres low attenuation and high bandwidth allow for large areas to be served from a single access network node enabling network node consolidation and thus savings of operational expenditures are expected. Furthermore, the convergence of fixed and mobile networks places additional interactions and requirements. This workshop will provide insights in the main trends in optical access networks, also including fixedwireless and fibre-copper convergence aspects. From architecture, systems and technology point of view the workshop will be devoted to next generation access networks with emphasis on the longer-term topics. Technical and economical drivers for access network evolution will be discussed: Future evolution scenarios will be elaborated and possible research directions and future access network paradigms will be outlined, motivated and discussed by expert speakers from industry, standardization and academia.

WS5: Flexible Cognitive Optical Networks
Chairs: Idelfonso Tafur Monroy, DTU Fotonik, Technical University of Denmark, Denmark Contact: idtm@fotonik.dtu.dk Ioannis Tomkos, Athens Information Technology, Greece - Contact: itom@ait.edu.gr Abstract Flexgrid link components and elastic bit rate transceivers are a very hot topic now and for the few past years we could witness their development from merely concepts towards successful commercialization. However, the deployment in an optical network infrastructure is years ahead. One of the limiting factors is the fact that currently deployed control planes are already very complex and expensive to operate and manage and adding more degrees of freedom will make this situation even worse. On the other hand, in order to gain any benefit from the flexible-elastic implementation of the physical plane, the control plane has to be capable. One of the possible answers is the introduction of cognition into the control plane as well. Applied to optical networking, it is a relatively novel concept reimplemented from the cognitive radio scenario. A cognitive control plane is used to control flexible elastic optical transceivers and components with the view to enable efficient resource utilization in flexible networking, reduce energy consumption and footprint, reduce the control plane burden by enabling semi- or fully autonomous control plane operation. Cognition in the control plane however, has to be aided by a wide array of cognition-enabling techniques implemented starting from the physical layer up to the application layer. This workshop will assess the current status of cognition as a technique supporting flexible optical networking. Speakers include leading experts from academia and industry, representing Europe, Americas and Asia. The workshop will present latest development but also point out and discusses challenges in realizing future optical networks with dynamic resource allocation and cognitive control.

WS6: Mid IR Photonics: Prospects and Challenges
Chairs: Dimitris Syvridis, National and Kapodestrian University of Athens, Greece Contact: dsyvridi@di.uoa.gr Periklis Petropoulos, University of Southampton, UK - Contact: pp@orc.soton.ac.uk Wolfgang Elsaesser, Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany Contact: elsaesser@physik.tu-darmstadt.de Abstract The largely unexplored mid-infrared area of the spectrum offers some important benefits in areas that include chemical and biological sensing (e.g. either for environmental monitoring or for bio-agent and medical sensing), spectroscopy and indeed (free-space) communications. However, there are also several important challenges associated with this region of the spectrum. For example, semiconductor diode laser technology, the use of which is so widespread in conventional applications in the near-infrared, does not scale well to longer wavelengths. Detection of the electromagnetic radiation in the mid-infrared proves even more challenging, and often necessitates the use of bulky devices that need to be cooled to low temperatures. On the other hand, the mid-infrared seems better suited for emerging technologies, such as silicon photonics, since issues associated with two-photon absorption cease to be a problem any more, whereas electro-optic effects become more efficient. In addition, the larger wavelength dimensions imply that the fabrication of nanophotonic devices also becomes somewhat less challenging. This workshop intends to explore some of the more recent technological advances that have been achieved in mid-infrared photonics. The workshop is organized in three sessions. The first two sessions emphasize on mid-infrared devices and applications, respectively. The third session is an overview of some current collaborative research programmes that take place within the European Union, and which develop innovative sensing solutions in the mid-infrared. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore the state-of-the-art in photonics in this wavelength region and witness some of the challenges that research will have to address in the coming years.

WS9: The Bandwidth Density Frontier How to Pack More Gb/sec into your Precious mm3
Chairs: Bert-Jan Offrein, IBM Research Zurich, Switzerland - Contact: ofb@zurich.ibm.com Oded Raz, Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands - Contact: O.Raz@tue.nl Abstract The performance of computers systems increases with a factor 1000 every 10 years, for. This increase in performance is driven by an increase in parallelism. Currently, data centers (DCs) and high performance computers (HPCs) are built out of 100.000s of servers operating in parallel. According to Amdahls balanced system law in an ideal parallel system, for each floating point operation per second in performance one byte/s IO bandwidth is required. IBM envisions that performance of a single server is going to reach 10 Teraflop by 2020, leading to an aggregated exabyte/s data transport in HPCs and DCs. The trend of doubling the bandwidth requirements every 18 months is also a major concern for network operators and system vendors. They are required to build communication infrastructure that can sift through Terabits per second of incoming and outgoing traffic while placing all relevant network interfaces (such as pluggable transceivers and connectors) on the front panels of their line-cards, a task which is often a major engineering constraint on final system design. Academia, industrial research labs and commercial entities have been putting extensive efforts into finding more power efficient and space efficient solutions for increasing the bandwidth-density of these optical interfaces in the past 10 years (since the introduction of the first SFPs in 2001). While much progress has been made, it is clear that scaling pluggable transceivers to hundreds and thousands of Gbit/sec is not simply a case of putting more of the same devices in parallel. In this workshop we have brought together leading speakers from industry and academia to shed light on the challenges in packaging more Gb/sec into ever smaller modules. Presentations I.

WS10: Optical Components and Characterization Requirements for SDM Networks
Chairs: Francesco Poletti, ORC, University of Southampton, UK - Contact: frap@orc.soton.ac.uk Lars Grner-Nielsen, OFS, Denmark - Contact: lgruner@ofsoptics.com Kiyoshi Fukuchi, Green Platform Research Labs., NEC Corporation, Japan Contact: k-fukuchi@da.jp.nec.com Shoichiro Matsuo, Optics and Electronics Laboratory, Fujikura, Ltd., Japan Contact: shoichiro.matsuo@jp.fujikura.com Abstract Progress in optical communication systems over the past few decades has been profound. As a consequence of successive breakthroughs, both in terms of photonic and more recently digital signal processing technologies, the latest laboratory transmission experiments are rapidly closing in on fundamental transmission capacity limits as dictated by optical nonlinearity, amplifier bandwidth and fundamental information theory. At the same time, traffic on the worlds optical communication networks is increasing by ~40% year-on-year, leading to fears of a potential capacity crunch in the next decade or so without radical innovation at the physical layer. The only remaining physical dimension left to be exploited to significantly increase the data capacity of a single fiber is space. Current commercial technologies exploit just two polarization modes in a single-mode fiber core; however multiple cores, or multiple modes within the same core, or a combination of both, could in principle be used as separate independent information channels - the general approach being referred to as Space Division Multiplexing (SDM). Unfortunately, whilst conceptually simple, SDM is extremely challenging in practice, requiring the development of new concepts, transmission fibers and associated optical components, as well as new digital signal processing strategies, algorithms and circuitry. Major programs on SDM have been launched across the globe in the past 2-3 years and the progress has been extremely rapid. To date attention has focused mostly on headline transmission results, and there have been numerous symposia and workshops focusing primarily on underlying concepts, fibre design or overall system achievements. However, underpinning this progress is a vast array of work on the critical component technologies required, including multiplexing and demultiplexing devices, optical amplifiers, as well as the associated device and fiber characterization techniques which can become extremely challenging in a multipath environment. The development of reliable, manufacturable and scalable components to the required specifications is obviously a pre-requisite for commercial deployment of SDM systems. However, to date, such aspects have yet to receive much consideration within the broader communications community. This Workshop, co-organised and sponsored by EU FP7 project MODEGAP and the EXAT program, Japan, will review and discuss the optical component requirements and specifications emerging from the latest SDM transmission experiments considering both multi-mode and multi-core based approaches. It will also address the associated need for new measurement techniques and procedures as required to quantify and specify device and subsystem performance. In particular we will consider topics such as channel Mux/Demux, optical isolation and amplification, and routes to device integration and reduction of the system complexity, as well as approaches to measure critical parameters such as channel extinction ratios, discrete and distributed mode couplings, modal amplifier gain and noise figure, and modal loss, dispersion and nonlinearity.

WS11: FTTH and Open Access Networks: Technology, Business and Regulatory Challenges
Chairs: Marco Forzati, Swedish ICT/Acreo, Sweden - Contact: marco.forzati@acreo.se Crister Mattsson, Swedish ICT/Acreo, Sweden Bart Lannoo, IBBT, Belgium - Contact: bart.lannoo@intec.ugent.be Sofie verbrugge, IBBT, Belgium - Contact: sofie.verbrugge@intec.ugent.be Bas Huiszoon, Genexis, The Netherlands - Contact: bhuiszoon@genexis.nl Abstract FTTH represents a big step from current copper-based access technologies not only in terms of available bandwidth, but also because it will be accompanied by a paradigm shift (driven in great part by the need to share the conspicuous investment cost) from service-dedicated networks to open, multilayer networks where all services will be delivered over one access network. In the open access business model, competing service providers get end-user access through a single network, operated by an independent network provider. This leads to increased freedom of choice for the end users, service innovation, reduced environmental impact, as well as to an improved business case for deployment and operation. However, a number of challenges still remains to be met, like the lack of standardization of interfaces, lack of efficient network-virtualisation mechanisms, unclear service and network provider roles towards the end-user, proliferation of devices at the end user premises, and unclear regulation. This workshop will bring up those challenges and will try to collect possible answers and solution proposals, by confronting the viewpoints of incumbent and alternative network operators, service and application providers, vendors, researchers and regulators. This workshop is jointly organized by the EU FP7 project OASE (http://www.ict-oase.eu) and the Open Network Forum (http://www.opennetworkforum.org) Presentations Why Open Access?

WS12: Control Plane Architectures for New Optical Switching Technologies Enabling Flexibility in Time, Frequency and Space Domains
Chairs: Juan Pedro Fernndez-Palacios, Telefonica I+D, Spain - Contact: jpfpg@tid.es Abstract The research in network control planes is currently focused on consolidating the control procedures adopted for the underlying optical infrastructure, and on extending a generalized (single-instance) control approach to include more and more technologies. Both objectives involve different architecture aspects with different degrees of maturity: they can range from more evolutive extensions to the control plane protocols when there is the need to incorporate new advances in optical data plane technologies (such as new photonic subwavelength or grid-less technologies), and can scale up to more extreme and demanding interactions between the control plane and the network service layer (e.g. the cloud) for controlling new types of enhanced connectivity services (i.e. beyond the point-to-point). Additionally, since optical networks represent the core substrate responsible for inter-carrier data transport, other key research topics addressed in this area include possibly standardized multicarrier and multivendor control solutions to make more effective and open (i.e. vendor-independent) the current implementations. Some of the mainstreams in the current control plane evolution to be covered in the workshop are: Integrated control plane architectures for hybrid Optical Packet and circuit switched networks providing both high-speed, inexpensive services and deterministic-delay, low data-loss services according to the users usage scenario Decoupling of the optical transport from the control plane. The key goal is to decouple the control plane implementation and procedures from equipments, with the main rationale of moving intelligence out of the box, and making it vendor-independent. One of the potential enablers in this research area is the popular OpenFlow protocol New control plane architectures for Flexgrid Networks. The migration from current static DWDM networks towards elastic optical networks will significantly increase backbone capacity and scalability and enable new elastic bandwidth services. Control plane architectures should be updated in order to enable a smooth migration process GMPLS extensions for subwavelengths. Sub-wavelengths refer to the shared utilization of a single wavelength by optical bursts, packets, slots. Considering the evolution, progress and variety of subwavelength optical networks it is important to address standardization aspects that would specify a transport-agnostic GMPLS control plane able to control and provision different sub-wavelength optical transport networks on a generic way.

Tu.3.G.1 Next Generation Optical Access Technologies

Larry Coldren; University of California, Santa Barbara, UCSB, USA Abstract Efforts to integrate numerous photonic components on a single chip have led to significant advancements over the past few years. Not only has the size, weight and power dissipation of transmitter and receiver sub-systems improved, but now photonic integration is demonstrating truly new capabilities, enabling functionalities not possible with discrete implementations. Also, sub-sytem performance and cost are proving to be competitive, even where discrete implementations are possible. Biography Larry A. Coldren is the Kavli Professor of Optoelectronics at UCSB. Following his Ph.D. from Stanford, he spent 13 years at Bell Labs, and joined UCSB in 1984, where he is on the ECE and Materials faculties. At UCSB his work on multiple-section lasers led to his invention of the widely-tunable multi-element mirror laser, now used in numerous commercial products. Seminal contributions to efficient VCSELs also emerged. He co-founded both VCSEL and widelytunable integrated transmitter companies that were successfully acquired. His group continues efforts on high-performance PICs and high-speed VCSELs. He has contributed to numerous papers, books and patents. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, OSA, and IEE, a recipient of the Tyndall and Kressel Awards, and a member of the National Academy of Engineering. Abstract

Jeremy OBrien; University of Bristol, UK. Abstract

Peter Vetter; Bell Labs, Alcatel-Lucent, USA

Quantum information science promises profoundly disruptive information and communication technologies. Photons are ideal carriers of quantum information: Their low noise, high speed transmission, and ease of manipulation at the single photon level make them indispensable for quantum communication, which offers security based on the laws of physics, quantum metrology, which promises the ultimate precision measurements, and quantum information processing, which promises exponentially greater computational power for particular tasks. Recently integrated optical devices have been applied to these technologies. We give an overview of quantum technologies and progress towards their realisation in integrated optics. Biography Jeremy OBrien is director of the Centre for Quantum Photonics, University of Bristol. His Ph.D. from the University of New South Wales in 2002 was for experimental work on correlated and confined electrons in organic conductors, superconductors and semiconductor nanostructures, and progress towards silicon quantum computing. At the University of Queensland (2001-2006) he worked on quantum optics and quantum information science with photons. CQPs efforts are focused on the fundamental and applied quantum mechanics at the heart of quantum information science and technology, from prototypes for scalable quantum computing to quantum communication, and quantum metrology.

This talk will provide an update of different next generation optical access technologies in a tutorial way. We will recap how the aggregate bandwidth of a PON can be further increased beyond the current standard 10Gbit/s capability by means of TDM-PON, hybrid TWDM-PON, WDM-PON, and OFDM-PON. We will compare how new concepts and technology research have made progress towards an easier deployment, lower cost, and lower energy consumption for each of the different alternatives. Biography Peter Vetter is Department Head for Access Systems in Bell Labs Murray Hill. He received a PhD from Gent University in 1991 and worked as post-doc at Tohoku University, before joining the research centre of Alcatel (now Alcatel-Lucent) in Antwerp in 1993. In 2000, he became R&D lead for BPON in an Internal Venture that produced the first FTTH product in Alcatel. He also managed various European Research Projects, including the integrated project IST-MUSE. During his career, he has been interested in liquid crystal displays, optical interconnections, optical access, access platforms, access architectures, netcomputing for residentials, and energy efficient access.

Th.1.G.1 Energy Efficiency in Cloud Computing and Optical Networking

Meint Smit; Technical University Eindhoven, Netherlands Abstract Photonic Integration has a great potential for manufacturing complex subsystems in a compact and cost-effective way. Entry costs for developing an integrated chip are high, however, which has restricted the application of Photonic ICs. Recent developments towards a generic foundry model in photonic integration lead to a dramatic cost reduction by using standardized high-performance integration processes in combination with a component library with a broad range of building blocks. It lead also to a reduction of the R&D time. The strongly reduced entry costs will bring Photonic ICs within reach for many SMEs in telecom and other applications. Biography Meint K. Smit graduated in Electrical Engineering in 1974 and received his Ph.D. in 1991, both with honours. He started research in Integrated Optics in 1981. He invented the Arrayed Waveguide Grating, for which he received a LEOS Technical Achievement award in 1997 and he was closely involved in the development of the MMI-coupler. Since 2000 he is the leader of the Photonic Integration group at the COBRA Research Institute of TU Eindhoven. His current research interests are in InP-based Photonic Integration, including integration of InP circuitry on Silicon. Meint Smit is a LEOS Fellow. Abstract

Raman Kashyap; Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, Canada Abstract

Rodney Tucker; University of Melbourne, Australia

Low power optical damage, which is accompanied by a beautiful and distinctive propagating plasma emission, was discovered by the author 25 years ago. This tutorial will trace the history and impact of the genie that escaped from its glass bottle. Biography Raman Kashyap has researched photonics for over 30 years, many at British Telecom Research Laboratories, Martlesham Heath, in United Kingdom. He currently holds the Tier 1 Canada Research Chair on Future Photonic Systems and has a joint Professorship in the Departments of Electrical Engineering and Engineering Physics at cole Polytechnique of Montreal. He is the Head of the Advanced Photonics Concepts Laboratory and the $4M laser micro-fabrication laboratory, Fabulas. He has published over 350 articles and the first book on Fibre Bragg Gratings. He also discovered Self-Propelled Self-Focusing (SPSF), commonly known as the fibre fuse, in 1987.

This tutorial provides an overview of some key parameters that influence energy consumption in cloud computing and optical networking. We present simple energy models of optical and wireless communications networks and cloud computing, and show how energy consumption depends on the underlying equipment, the network architecture, and the traffic carried by the network. We use these energy models to quantify energy efficiency of the network and identify trends in energy-efficient networking. Finally, we highlight some strategies for improving energy efficiency in future networks, including device design, optical bypass, and optimizing the location of data centres and caches in the network. Biography Rod Tucker is a Laureate Professor at the University of Melbourne and Director of the University of Melbournes Centre for EnergyEfficient Telecommunications (CEET). He is also Director of the Institute for a Broadband-Enabled Society. Rod leads a group of academics and students undertaking research on energy-efficiency in telecommunications. He has previously held positions at Plessey, AT&T Bell Laboratories, Hewlett Packard Laboratories, and Agilent Technologies. In 2009, he served on the Australian Federal Governments Panel of Experts, tasked with providing advice on the establishment of a National Broadband Network in Australia.

NOTES _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________

Pierluigi Poggiolini; Politecnico di Torino, Italy Abstract Recently, various analytical models for non-linear propagation in uncompensated coherent systems have been proposed. This tutorial focuses on several related key questions, such as: what are the differences among such models? Can they be unified? Are they accurate? According to models, how does NLI (non-linear interference noise) accumulate over optical bandwidth and distance? How many channels are enough to generate most or all the NLI in a system? What can be done to mitigate, either optically or electronically, the impact of NLI? What is, then, the ultimate fiber capacity? Are there simple design rules which can be derived through the model? What is their impact on the design and management of flexible wavelength-routed networks? Biography Pierluigi Poggiolini received his MS and PhD from Politecnico di Torino, Italy. From 1990 to 1995 he was a visiting scholar and a post-doc at Stanford University. He is currently a full professor at Politecnico di Torino. Since 2000 he has been the coordinator of the OptCom group (www.optcom.polito.it). From 2006 to 2010 he was involved in several EU-funded projects: e-Photon/ONe, Nobel II, BONE and Euro-FOS. He served as a member of the Academic Senate of Politecnico di Torino for six years. His current research interests include coherent modulation formats and modeling of nonlinear propagation. He is married and is father of two sons and two daughters.

Mo.1/2.G Symposium on Indoor Optical Networks - A Promising Way to a Converged Service Delivery

Wednesday, 19 September Time 09:0012:30 Auditorium


W.1/2.G Symposium on Energy Consumption of the Internet

Chairs: Ton Koonen, COBRA - TU Eindhoven, Netherlands Contact: a.m.j.koonen@tue.nl Misha Popov, ACREO, Sweden Contact (Mikhail Popov, mikhail. popov@acreo.se) Abstract Todays in-door communication networks are provisioning a wide range of services to the user, via a variety of media. Cat-5 (and successors)-based networks and wireless LANs are laid out originally for data services, coaxial cable networks for video entertainment, twisted pair for voice and fax telephony, and some specific cabling may be installed for home automation services. As more and more data-intensive applications are emerging in the home, and devices not only need to communicate with the outside world, but increasingly also with each other, the capacity demands on the indoor network often surpass those on the (fibre-to-the-home) access line. Moreover, there is a trend towards IP-based service provisioning, leading to convergence of services at the IP layer. Apart from superior transmission properties, and also from the installation and future-prooofness point of view, optical fibre as the universal medium for an indoor network carrying the converged set of services may offer a number of attractive advantages.

Chairs: Tom Pearsall, European Photonics Industry Consortium (EPIC), France - Contact: pearsall@epic-assoc.com Bart Lannoo, Ghent University IBBT, Belgium - Contact: bart. lannoo@intec.ugent.be Mario Pickavet, Ghent University IBBT, Belgium - Contact: mario. pickavet@intec.ugent.be Abstract This symposium will analyze the relationship between the Internet and its energy requirements now and in the coming decade. As the Internet is growing considerably (both in terms of device numbers and bandwidth requirements) year by year, it is crucial to investigate how sustainable this future evolution will be. Are we heading for a clash of novel networks and services with limited energy resources, or will both coexist without any problems? Renowned speakers from both energy and ICT background will present their view on this matter. Within the telecommunication sector, the different viewpoints of operators, vendors and academia will be presented. At the end, a panel discussion amongst the various speakers and the audience will compare the different viewpoints and lead to overall conclusions.

Mo.1.A.1 14:00 REAL-TIME IMPLEMENTATION OF A PARALLELIZED FEEDFORWARD TIMING RECOVERY SCHEME FOR RECEIVERS IN OPTICAL ACCESS NETWORKS Daniel Schmidt1, Berthold Lankl1, Johannes Karl Fischer2, Jonas Hilt2, Colja Schubert2; 1University of the Federal Armed Forces, Germany; 2Fraunhofer HeinrichHertz-Institute, Germany. Transfer rates in optical transmission systems are usually higher than the clocking speed of silicon devices. Thus parallelization has to be introduced, which means that several samples have to be processed during one operating cycle. For such a parallelized receiver structure a feedforward timing recovery scheme is implemented into an FPGA.

Invited Mo.1.B.1 14:00 FROM HYBRID FIBRE COAX TO ALL-FIBRE NETWORKS Dean Stoneback1; 1Motorola Mobility Inc., USA. Cable operators have many options to increase throughput as they progress towards an all-fiber network, including migrating from analog to digital video, increasing compression, using advanced modulation, allocating more upstream spectrum and pushing fiber deeper.

Mo.1.G.1 OPENING REMARKS: STATE-OF-THE-ART OF HOME NETWORKING Ton Koonen1, Misha Popov2; 1COBRA - TU Eindhoven, The Netherlands 2ACREO, Sweden To introduce the Symposium, this presentation will give a brief overview of state-of-the-art home networking architectures, technologies and applications covering both technical and techno-economic aspects. Mo.1.G.2 HOME NETWORKS: THE GREAT UNKNOWN FOR THE SERVICE PROVIDER Frank den Hartog; TNO Telecom, the Netherlands As new broadband access networks drive the development of new cross-sectoral services, they also lead to home networks increasing in size, scale, and heterogeneity. This comes at the cost of growing managerial complexity, weakening the service providers business case. An overview will be presented of the technical solution space which includes new networkand service architectures, network performance optimization, and remote-management tools. Also standardization strategies will be discussed, especially regarding the Home Gateway Initiative (HGI), an international operator-led consortium committed to shaping how broadband services are delivered to the home. Mo.1.G.3 HOW TO MEET THE SERVICE NEEDS OF THE END USER? Gerlas van den Hoven; Genexis, The Netherlands Broadband services at fiber-speeds go well beyond todays triple play. There will not be a single killer application; fiber enables the full combination of nextgeneration applications such as e-health, teleworking, smart home, gaming, interactive television, and more. The challenge is to provide user-friendly access to these services. This presentation will discuss how FTTH networking technologies such as Gigabit Point-to-Point, GPON, and beyond, can provide the broadband service needs of tomorrows end-user.

Multi core fiber with large Aeff as 140 m2 and low crosstalk less than -40 dB after 100 km transmission was successfully developed. The design of core profile, core pitch, and cladding diameter were optimized simultaneously to achieve optical properties suitable for the future large capacity transmission utilizing the multi level signal format.

Cartledge1; 1 Electrical and Computer Engineering, Queens University at Kingston, Canada. The performance of QPSK constellation transformation based two-stage carrier phase estimation algorithms is assessed for 16-ary quadrature-amplitude-modulation. Experimentally the linewidth tolerance of the algorithms is shown to be comparable to the blind phase search algorithm, but with a reduction in the complexity by factors of about 3-8.

Rasmussen2; 1Fujitsu Research & Development Center, China; 2Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd., Japan. The nonlinear distortion caused by the interaction between chromatic dispersion and direct detection reduces the capacity of optical discrete multi-tone system beyond dozens of kilometers. The proposed nonlinear equalizer compensated the distortion and increased the capacity by up to 50%.

Morsy-Osman1, Mathieu Chagnon1, Qunbi Zhuge1, Xian Xu1, Mohammad Mousa-Pasandi1, Ziad A. El-Sahn1, David V. Plant1; 1Electrical & Computer Engineering, McGill University, Canada. We propose a training symbol based algorithm that estimates the Jones channel matrix whose entries are used as the initial center taps of a decision-directed butterfly equalizer. With fewer than 40 training symbols, we experimentally demonstrate ultrafast polarization demultiplexing for 112 Gbps PDM-QPSK and 224 Gbps PDM-16QAM systems.

Mo.1.G.4 THE FUTURE OF HOME NETWORKING Anthony Ngoma, Hejie Yang, Rich Wagner; Corning Incorporated, USA The proliferation of smart consumer devices and of the emerging high-bandwidth user applications has a strong impact on the requirements put on in-home networks. After performance evaluation of state-of-the-art home networking technologies used today, we have observed a significant gap between the current network performance and user requirements. In this talk, we will discuss technical challenges and key components of potential solutions that the industry should develop in order meet the desired home networking performance requirements. Mo.1.G.5 MULTI-FORMAT HOME NETWORKS USING SILICA FIBRES Ph. Guignard, J. Guillory, Ph. Chanclou, A. Pizzinat, O. Bouffant, N. Evanno, J. Etrillard, B. Charbonnier, S. Gosselin, L. Guillo, F. Richard; Orange Labs, France Two major challenges will drive the search for an efficient home network solution. The first one is to increase the bit rate to meet the requirements related to high interactivity and to the richness of the contents. The second one is to take into account the great heterogeneity of the signals to be delivered, the home network being the convergence point of many competing worlds, such as computer, telecommunication, and consumer electronics. To reach the performances required in terms of capacity and heterogeneity, silica fibre will be preferred for its low attenuation and high bandwidth. Two main architectures have been proposed for this home network. The first one is based on an active star centered on a switch able to process different types of signals. The second one is based on a passive N N star coupler, which provides a broadcast architecture, and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) is widely used to carry the different applications on specific wavelengths. This work, partly implemented within the European project ALPHA, will be carried on within the French collaborative project RLDO. Moreover, the French collaborative project ORIGIN supports these optical home architectures and focusses on the transmission of 60GHz radio signals.

Two novel routing and spectrum assignments (RSAs) are proposed for super-channels accounting for subcarriers dynamicity. The proposed RSAs obtain low blocking probability and reduce the number of required super-transponders.

We study the impact of stressors such as phase slips on the performance of LDPC codes with differentially encoded coherent DP-QPSK, comparing classical soft-decision decoding and iterative (turbo) differential decoding. We find that turbo decoding shows improved baseline performance but suffers from severely reduced phase slip resilience.

Mo.1.B.4 15:00 OPTIMIZED LATTICE-BASED 16-LEVEL SUBCARRIER MODULATION FOR IM/DD SYSTEMS Krzysztof Szczerba1, Johnny Karout2, Magnus Karlsson1, Peter A. Andrekson1, Erik Agrell2; 1Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden; 2Department of Signals and Systems, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden. We present an experimental demonstration of an optimized 16-level lattice-based single-cycle subcarrier modulation for IM/DD systems at 10 Gbps. The new format has 2.5 dB better sensitivity than single-cycle subcarrier 16-QAM and up to 1 dB better sensitivity than baseband 4-PAM at the same bit rate.

Mo.1.C.4 15:00 EXPERIMENTAL VERIFICATION OF THE MITIGATION OF INTRA-CHANNEL NONLINEAR IMPAIRMENTS BASED ON DIGITAL SPECTRAL SHAPING WITH 50GBPS PM-IRZ-QPSK SIGNAL OVER 10,080KM TRANSMISSION Daisaku Ogasahara1, Shinsuke Fujisawa1, Takehiro Nakano2, Emmanuel Le Taillandier de Gabory1, Yoshihisa Inada2, Toshiharu Ito1, Kiyoshi Fukuchi1; 1Green Platform Research Laboratories, NEC Corporation, Japan; 2 Submarine Network Division, NEC Corporation, Japan. We propose a method of spectral shaping at the transmitter to mitigate intra-channel nonlinear impairments. Experimental results exhibit 2dB increase of the optimal launch power and nonlinear tolerance enhancement with digital spectral shaping of a 50Gbps PM-iRZ-QPSK signal generated with a high-speed DACbased transmitter over a 10,080km link. Mo.1.C.5 15:15 LOW COMPLEXITY NONLINEARITY COMPENSATION FOR 100G DP-QPSK TRANSMISSION OVER LEGACY NZ-DSF LINK WITH OOK CHANNELS Takanori Inoue1, Eduardo Mateo2, Fatih Yaman2, Ting Wang2, Yoshihisa Inada1, Takaaki Ogata1, Yasuhiro Aoki1; 1 Submarine Network Division, NEC Corporation, Japan; 2 NEC Laboratories America, USA. Low-complexity nonlinearity compensation (NLC) is proposed for the upgrade of legacy NZ-DSF transmission systems. Simplified SPM compensation of 100G DPQPSK channels co-propagating with 10G-OOK channels is performed on a straight-line NZ-DSF test-bed. NLC improvement helps to counteract the nonlinear-crosstalk penalties induced by OOK channels.

Mo.1.G.6 ADVANTAGES OF HIGH-SPEED PLASTIC OPTICAL FIBERS FOR HOME NETWORKING SYSTEMS Yashiro Koike; Keio University, Japan With the recent rapid increase of the demands for higher quality of applications in home PCs, high-definition 3D TVs, tablet devices, and intelligent home appliances, high bit rate home networking systems have become inevitably important. In order to fulfill these demands, Plastic Optical Fibers (POFs) are among the most promising transmission media for in-home networks, because they can offer many advantages such as great flexibility, easy handling, and high bitrate as fast as 40Gbps which can be achieved by our graded-index technology that improved the bandwidth. The next generation home networking system can be realized by the concept of Fiber-to-the-Display, by connecting POFs directly to terminal devices in home. Details will be described in the presentation.

Mo.2.G.1 RECENT ACHIEVEMENTS IN POF TRANSMISSION Eduward Tangdiongga, Yan Shi, Chigo Okonkwo, Henrie van den Boom, Ton Koonen; TU Eindhoven, The Netherlands The potential for do-it-yourself installation, easy maintenance, and high bending tolerance is driving the commercialization of large-core polymethylmetacrylate (PMMA) plastic optical fibers (POFs) for shortrange multi-gigabit transmission capacities. Record transmission rates have been achieved, by using advanced modulation formats with simple intensitymodulation direct-detection systems with low-cost and eye-safe transceivers to enable transmission over 50-m POF links. In addition, results of transmitting highcapacity baseband signals together with wireless signals such as OFDM ultra-wide band transmitted over a single POF infrastructure are presented to highlight the key potential for POF-enabled delivery of both high-speed wired and wireless services. Mo.2.G.2 GIGABIT SOLUTIONS ON PMMA-POF AND THE RELATED EUROPEAN STANDARDIZATION Olaf Ziemann1, Christian-Alexander Bunge2, Roman Kruglov1, Juri Vinogradov1, Sven Loquai1, Stefan Werzinger1; 1POF Application Center, Germany; 2 Deutsche Telekom Hochschule fr Telekommunikation, Germany Polymer (/Plastic) Optical Fibers can be used for data transmission at bit rates of 1Gbps and more, as has been demonstrated in many laboratories and projects over the last years. The paper will give an overview of the different options for transmitters, fibers and modulation formats. Two different proposals for a standard Gigabit interface are under discussion in the German POF standardization group AK412.7.1. The main focus will be set on the use of LEDs as low-cost components and latest results using a new green (530nm) LED for 1 Gbps transmission over 50 m SIPOF will be demonstrated.

The newly achieved results indicate that ordinary LEDs designed for illumination can deliver data rates up to the Gbpsrange, which enables numerous local area wireless applications. Most important merits are simple protection against jamming and tapping (i.e. security, confidentiality) along with the feasibility of creating well-defined, dense communication cells. This contribution provides an overview of current solutions, particularly those using visible light, and discusses first steps towards commercialisation of high-speed systems.

Transmission of light within a multimode fibre introduces randomization of laser beam amplitude, phase and polarization. We discuss the importance of each of these factors and introduce a technique allowing full analysis of the light transmission through the multimode fibre and subsequent beam-shaping using a spatial light modulator.

Tutorial Tu.1.G.1 09:00 SINGLE-CHIP INTEGRATED TRANSMITTERS AND RECEIVERS Larry Coldren1,2, Mingzhi Lu1, Leif Johansson1, Mark Rodwell1, John Parker1; 1ECE, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA; 2Materials, UCSB, USA. Efforts to integrate numerous photonic components on a single chip have led to significant advancements over the past few years. Not only has the size, weight and power dissipation of transmitter and receiver sub-systems improved, but now photonic integration is demonstrating truly new capabilities, enabling functionalities not possible with discrete implementations. Also, sub-sytem performance and cost are proving to be competitive, even where discrete implementations are possible. Larry A. Coldren is the Kavli Professor of Optoelectronics at UCSB. Following his Ph.D. from Stanford, he spent 13 years at Bell Labs, and joined UCSB in 1984, where he is on the ECE and Materials faculties. At UCSB his work on multiple-section lasers led to his invention of the widely-tunable multi-element mirror laser, now used in numerous commercial products. Seminal contributions to efficient VCSELs also emerged. He co-founded both VCSEL and widely-tunable integrated transmitter companies that were successfully acquired. His group continues efforts on high-performance PICs and highspeed VCSELs. He has contributed to numerous papers, books and patents. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, OSA, and IEE, a recipient of the Tyndall and Kressel Awards, and a member of the National Academy of Engineering.

Tutorial Tu.1.G.2 10:00 QUANTUM PHOTONICS 1 1 Jeremy OBrien ; Centre for Quantum Photonics, University of Bristol, United Kingdom. Quantum information science promises profoundly disruptive information and communication technologies. Photons are ideal carriers of quantum information: Their low noise, high speed transmission, and ease of manipulation at the single photon level make them indispensable for quantum communication, which offers security based on the laws of physics, quantum metrology, which promises the ultimate precision measurements, and quantum information processing, which promises exponentially greater computational power for particular tasks. Recently integrated optical devices have been applied to these technologies. We give an overview of quantum technologies and progress towards their realisation in integrated optics. OBrien is director of the Centre for Quantum Photonics, University of Bristol. His Ph.D. from the University of New South Wales in 2002 was for experimental work on correlated and confined electrons in organic conductors, superconductors and semiconductor nanostructures, and progress towards silicon quantum computing. At the University of Queensland (2001-2006) he worked on quantum optics and quantum information science with photons. CQPs efforts are focused on the fundamental and applied quantum mechanics at the heart of quantum information science and technology, from prototypes for scalable quantum computing to quantum communication, and quantum metrology.

Tutorial Tu.4.G.1 16:00 GENERIC PHOTONIC INTEGRATION AS DRIVER FOR NEW SUBSYSTEM DEVELOPMENTS Meint Smit1; 1Technical University Eindhoven, Netherlands. Photonic Integration has a great potential for manufacturing complex subsystems in a compact and cost-effective way. Entry costs for developing an integrated chip are high, however, which has restricted the application of Photonic ICs. Recent developments towards a generic foundry model in photonic integration lead to a dramatic cost reduction by using standardized high-performance integration processes in combination with a component library with a broad range of building blocks. It lead also to a reduction of the R&D time. The strongly reduced entry costs will bring Photonic ICs within reach for many SMEs in telecom and other applications. Meint K. Smit graduated in Electrical Engineering in 1974 and received his Ph.D. in 1991, both with honours. He started research in Integrated Optics in 1981. He invented the Arrayed Waveguide Grating, for which he received a LEOS Technical Achievement award in 1997 and he was closely involved in the development of the MMI-coupler. Since 2000 he is the leader of the Photonic Integration group at the COBRA Research Institute of TU Eindhoven. His current research interests are in InPbased Photonic Integration, including integration of InP circuitry on Silicon. Meint Smit is a LEOS Fellow.

We introduce parametric tunable dispersion compensator based on FWM process in HNLF with low dispersion slope. Experimental demonstrations of the intrinsic advantages in operating bandwidth and tuning response and practical requirements such as polarizationinsensitive, colorless and in-line operations are reported.

We.2.B.4 12:00 MITIGATION OF RAYLEIGH NOISE AND DISPERSION IN REAM-BASED WDM-PON USING PARTIALRESPONSE SIGNALING Qi Guo1, An Tran1; 1Victoria Research Laboratory, National ICT Australia, Australia. We present a novel method to suppress Rayleigh backscattering and fiber dispersion in WDM-PON based on reflective electro-absorption modulator by changing the upstream signal format. 10-Gb/s and 20-Gb/s uplinks over 70-km and 35-km fiber have been demonstrated by dicode and modified duobinary modulation, respectively.

We extend a model for nonlinear propagation over lumped-amplified uncompensated links to setups using Raman amplification. We compare theoretical to simulative results for PM-16QAM Nyquist-WDM on PSCF links, showing an excellent agreement. We also show that Raman NLI enhancement gives limited practical impairments in realistic setups.

Non-linear effects in uncompensated links generate a noise-like additive interference: we study in detail the accumulation law vs. number of spans as a function of main system parameters (fiber types and WDM total bandwidth). In all practical cases, we analytically found a slightly super-linear accumulation confirmed by numerical simulations.

The performance of a decision-aided algorithm to mitigate the nonlinear cross-polarization in dispersionmanaged polarization-multiplexed BPSK/QPSK systems is studied experimentally and numerically.

We have demonstrated broad SC generation from UV to mid IR by using a highly nonlinear tapered tellurite microstructured fiber pumped by a 15-ps-pulsed laser with the peak power of 375 W.

Measurements of amplitude and phase dynamics of a concatenated SOA-EAM-SOA show 1/e amplitude recovery times as short as 2.6ps under optimal conditions, with longer 1/e phase recovery times (38ps). Due to the extremely fast amplitude recovery, the impulse response consists predominantly of a phase component only.

Considering coherent optical transmissions with PDL disturbance, we evaluate how far from the fundamental limit (based on the outage probability) are conventional coding schemes using Polarization-Time codes and/or LDPC codes. P4.14 THE LIMITS OF DIGITAL BACKPROPAGATION IN NONLINEAR COHERENT FIBER-OPTICAL LINKS Lotfollah Beygi1, Erik Agrell1, Pontus Johannisson2, Magnus Karlsson2, Henk Wymeersch1; 1Signals and Systems Dept., Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden; 2Photonics Laboratory, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden. The performance of a single-channel fiber-optical link is evaluated with linear (dispersive) and nonlinear equalization. The results show a quadratic growth of the noise variance with input power for a system with nonlinear equalization and also justify the known cubic growth for linear equalization.

We compare the performance of CO-DP-MB-OFDM and CO-DP-QPSK for 100Gbps long-haul transport over legacy infrastructure combining G.652 fiber and 10Gbps WDM system. We show that they have nearly the same performance at 100Gbps after transmission over a 10x100-km fiber line. P4.18 SCALING THE ADVANTAGES OF INTRA-CHANNEL NONLINEARITY COMPENSATION IN FUTURE FLEXIBLE OPTICAL NETWORKS Danish Rafique1, Andrew Ellis1; 1Photonic Systems Group, Tyndall National Institute, Ireland, Ireland.

P5.08 ENERGY-EFFICIENCY OPTIMISED UPGRADE PATHS FOR CASCADED, STOCHASTICALLY-BASED, MASTER-SLAVE IP ROUTER CONFIGURATIONS Michael C. Parker1, Stuart Walker1; 1CSEE, University of Essex, United Kingdom. We present a novel design rule offering maximally energy-efficient and future-proofed Tb/sPb/s upgrade paths for IP routers. One path assumes 10% average Poisson traffic intensity with 68.1% energy-efficiency gains over only 5 upgrade generations; while 30% average traffic load only enables 45.7% energy-efficiency gains and requires 9 generations. P5.09 ON THE COEXISTENCE OF MULTI-CHANNEL 100 GB/S ETHERNET WITH LEGACY SINGLE-CHANNEL SERVICES IN METROPOLITAN NETWORKS Joao Santos1,2, Gottfried Lehmann3, Joo Pedro1,2; 1 Nokia Siemens Networks, Portugal; 2Instituto de Telecomunicaes, Portugal; 3Nokia Siemens Networks, Germany. We study the effectiveness of deploying 100Gb/s Ethernet services using parallel 4x28Gb/s channels in metropolitan networks already supporting legacy single-channels services. The successful set up of these services is shown to heavily depend on the planning methodology, multi-channel transponder tunability, and single-channel services load share.

Turitsyn1; 1Aston Institute of Photonic Technologies, Aston University, United Kingdom. We demonstrate experimentally and study theoretically new type of stable pulse structures in erbium-doped fibre lasers - polarization evolving vector solitons which evolve in trajectories form a double semi-circle on the Poincar sphere with characteristic times of 100-1000 round trips.

Invited Th.1.A.1 09:00 THEORIES AND APPLICATIONS OF CHROMATIC DISPERSION PENALTY MITIGATION IN ALL OPTICAL OFDM TRANSMISSION SYSTEM Malaz Kserawi1, Satoshi Shimizu2, Naoya Wada2, Ahmed Galib Reza1, June-Koo Kevin Rhee1; 1Dept. of Electrical Engineering, KAIST, Republic of Korea; 2Photonic Network System Laboratory, National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, Japan. Fiber chromatic dispersion in optical OFDM transmission degrades carrier orthogonality, resulting in system penalty. Such penalty can be mitigated by per-carrier delay precompensation and spectrum filtering. Theoretical and experimental results show both methods restore performance without overhead or guard interval.

Th.1.B.1 09:00 DEMONSTRATION OF RADIO-OVER-FIBRE TRANSMISSION OF BROADBAND MIMO OVER MULTIMODE FIBRE USING MODE DIVISION MULTIPLEXING George S. Gordon1, Joel Carpenter1, Michael J. Crisp1, Timothy D. Wilkinson1, Richard V. Penty1, Ian H. White1; 1 Electrical Engineering Division, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom. A novel method for sending MIMO wireless signals to remote antenna units over a single multimode fibre is proposed. MIMO streams are sent via different fibre modes using mode division multiplexing. Combined channel measurements of 2km MMF and a typical indoor radio environment show in principle a 2x2 MIMO link at carrier frequencies up to 6GHz.

Integrated mode group multiplexer and demultiplexer are proposed for Mode Group Division Multiplexing (MGDM). The architecture with optical MIMO demultiplexing and mode-selective spatial filtering is introduced.

Experimental demonstration of a dual-polarization Volterra series nonlinear equalizer applied in frequencydomain is carried out for 100G polarization-multiplexed QPSK test signals. We were able to reduce the BER by a factor of ~2.5x relatively to the single-polarization approach, with a 1 dB increase in the optimum power.

Schmidt2, Neil G. Gonzales3, Bangning Mao3, Knud J Larsen1, Idelfonso Tafur Monroy1; 1DTU Fotonik, Denmark; 2DTU, DTU Informatics, Denmark; 3ERC Huawei, Germany. We show experimentally that by using non-linear signal processing based algorithm, expectation maximization, nonlinear system tolerance can be increased by 2 dB. Expectation maximization is also effective in combating I/Q modulator nonlinearities and laser linewidth.

Practical robustness against link uncertainties was confirmed.

Invited Th.1.E.1 09:00 ULTRAFAST OPTICAL SIGNAL PROCESSING IN SLOW LIGHT PHOTONIC CRYSTAL WAVEGUIDES Thomas Krauss1; 1University Of St-Andrews, United Kingdom. Photonic crystyal waveguides operating in the slow light regime offer a wide range of opportunities for optical signal processing based on the fact that they offer resonant enhancement of light-matter interaction combined with sizeable bandwidth (5-15 nm typ. at 1550 nm) based on the unique ability to engineer their dispersive properties. These opportunities can be categorised along three different lines, namely a) ultracompact optical modulators/switches, b) enhanced nonlinear interaction and c) optical buffers and delays. Regarding modulators, it is now possible to design devices with similar actuation energy/bit as in comparable microrings, yet with 1-2 orders of magnitude larger bandwidth. Regarding nonlinear interaction, we have shown that the efficiency of third harmonic generation and four wave mixing scales as the third or fourth power of the slowdown factor, respectively, and that surprising conversion efficiencies can be achievd on very short lengthscales. Finally, we highlight recent developments in tunable optical delay, especially the ability to tune the delay at the bit-level and on picosecond timescales.

Four-mode phase-sensitive amplification is experimentally introduced for the first time. In a proofof-principle realization using a dual-pump fiber-optic parametric amplifier we achieve nearly 20-dB gain. The influence of the individual phases of the six interacting waves on the signal gain is investigated.

Tutorial Th.1.G.1 09:00 ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN CLOUD COMPUTING AND OPTICAL NETWORKING Rodney S. Tucker1, Kerry Hinton1, Rob Ayre1; 1University of Melbourne, Australia. This tutorial provides an overview of some key parameters that influence energy consumption in cloud computing and optical networking. We present simple energy models of optical and wireless communications networks and cloud computing, and show how energy consumption depends on the underlying equipment, the network architecture, and the traffic carried by the network. We use these energy models to quantify energy efficiency of the network and identify trends in energyefficient networking. Finally, we highlight some strategies for improving energy efficiency in future networks, including device design, optical bypass, and optimizing the location of data centres and caches in the network. Rod Tucker is a Laureate Professor at the University of Melbourne and Director of the University of Melbournes Centre for Energy-Efficient Telecommunications (CEET). He is also Director of the Institute for a BroadbandEnabled Society. Rod leads a group of academics and students undertaking research on energy-efficiency in telecommunications. He has previously held positions at Plessey, AT&T Bell Laboratories, Hewlett Packard Laboratories, and Agilent Technologies.

Wiberg1, Lan Liu1, Nikola Alic1, Stojan Radic1; 1University of California, San Diego, USA. We demonstrate a new linearization approach for analog parametric sampling gates.

We have developed an electrically pumped photoniccrystal laser. Employing an ultracompact embedded active region, the direct modulation is achieved at 10-Gbit/s with ultra-low operating energy. It opens up a novel application area for lasers, namely the optical interconnects for computercom.

Th.1.F.3 09:30 HOMODYNE OPERATION OF A PHASE-ONLY OPTICAL AMPLIFIER Joseph Kakande1, Francesca Parmigiani1, Radan Slavk1, Periklis Petropoulos1, David Richardson1; 1 Optoelectronics Resaerch Centre, United Kingdom.

A method for compensation of both high speed XPolM and XPM in a 112Gb/s PDM OFDM QPSK channel surrounded by 10Gb/s OOK neighbors is proposed.

Ralph1; 1 Georgia Institute of Technology, USA; 2Adtran Inc., USA. A joint digital signal processing strategy is introduced and demonstrated to improve superchannel system performance over 1280-km SSMF. Joint chromatic dispersion compensation is shown to enable joint interchannel interference cancellation dramatically reducing spectral generation and detection constraints within superchannel systems.

By exploiting sum-frequency generation or cascaded sum- and difference-frequency generation in a periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide, we demonstrate wavelength-/time-selective switching/ dropping/swapping. It is shown these operations are applicable for 100-GHz-spaced WDM signals owing to the narrow-band quasi-phase matching condition.

We demonstrate 845-km WDM transmission of eight 100-GHz-spaced 603-Gb/s superchannels in each core of a 76.8-km 7-core fiber placed in a recirculating loop.

Th.2.D.1 11:00 SPATIAL-MODE MULTICASTING OF A SINGLE 100-GBIT/S ORBITAL ANGULAR MOMENTUM (OAM) MODE ONTO MULTIPLE OAM MODES Yan Yan1, Yang Yue1, Hao Huang1, Yongxiong Ren1, Nisar Ahmed1, Alan Willner1, Samuel Dolinar2; 1University of Southern California, USA; 2Jet Propulsion Lab, USA. A method of spatial mode multicasting in OAM modes spatial-division multiplexing is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. By designing the phase pattern of a phase-only spatial light modulator, the input single spatial mode of 100Gbits/s QPSK signal can be multicasted up to 8 spatial OAM modes with crosstalk lower than -20dB.

Invited Th.2.E.1 11:00 CHIP SCALE OPTICAL FREQUENCY COMBS Tobias Kippenberg1; 1EPFL, Switzerland. We demonstrate on chip, high repetition rate and low phase noise optical frequency combs using optical microresonators. We demonstrate low phase noise behavior in the mid-infrared using ultra high Q MgF2 crystalline resonators as well as low phase noise frequency combs in SiN chip scale resonators and reveal the underlying dynamics.

Th.2.F.1 11:00 PHASE-SENSITIVE AMPLIFIED OPTICAL LINK OPERATING IN THE NONLINEAR TRANSMISSION REGIME Samuel L. Olsson1, Bill Corcoran1, Carl Lundstrm1, Martin Sjdin1, Magnus Karlsson1, Peter A. Andrekson1; 1 Photonics Laboratory, Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden. We characterize a phase-sensitive amplifier (PSA) after an 80km fiber span, carrying a single DQPSK channel in the nonlinear transmission regime. The system penalty with increasing intra-channel nonlinear distortion is similar for EDFA and PSA based systems, indicating that the PSA sensitivity advantage may remain with nonlinear transmission. Th.2.F.2 11:15 ALL-OPTICAL TUNABLE WAVELENGTH SHIFTING OF A 128-GBIT/S 64-QAM SIGNAL Alan H. Gnauck1, Eugene Myslivets2, Mihaela Dinu1, Bill Ping Piu Kuo2, Peter Winzer1, Robert Jopson1, Nicola Alic2, Agnieszka Konczykowska3, Filip Jorge3, Jean-Yves Dupuy3, Stojan Radic2; 1Bell Labs, Alcatel-Lucent, USA; 2 UCSD, USA; 3III-V Labs, France. Wavelength shifting of a 21.4-Gbaud 64-QAM signal is achieved using Bragg scattering with dither-free pumping in a longitudinally stressed highly nonlinear silica fiber. Three wavelengths on a 10-nm tuning range centered on a 24-nm shift are demonstrated with a penalty of less than 2 dB at a BER of 0.001.

Tutorial Th.2.G.1 11:00 ANALYTICAL MODELING OF NON-LINEAR PROPAGATION IN COHERENT SYSTEMS Pierluigi Poggiolini1; 1Dipartimento di Elettronica e Telecomunicazioni, Politecnico di Torino, Italy. Recently, various analytical models for non-linear propagation in uncompensated coherent systems have been proposed. This tutorial focuses on several related key questions, such as: what are the differences among such models? Can they be unified? Are they accurate? According to models, how does NLI (non-linear interference noise) accumulate over optical bandwidth and distance? How many channels are enough to generate most or all the NLI in a system? What can be done to mitigate, either optically or electronically, the impact of NLI? What is, then, the ultimate fiber capacity? Are there simple design rules which can be derived through the model? What is their impact on the design and management of flexible wavelength-routed networks? He received his MS and PhD from Politecnico di Torino, Italy. From 1990 to 1995 he was a visiting scholar and a post-doc at Stanford University. He is currently a full professor at Politecnico di Torino. Since 2000 he has been the coordinator of the OptCom group (www.optcom. polito.it). From 2006 to 2010 he was involved in several EU-funded projects: e-Photon/ONe, Nobel II, BONE and Euro-FOS. He served as a member of the Academic Senate of Politecnico di Torino for six years. His current research interests include coherent modulation formats and modeling of non-linear propagation. He is married and is father of two sons and two daughters.

Th.2.D.2 11:15 EQUALIZATION OF TWO-MODE FIBER BASED MIMO SIGNALS WITH LARGER RECEIVER SETS Xi Chen1, Jia Ye1,2, Yue Xiao1,3, An Li1,4, Jiayuan He1, Qian Hu1, William Shieh1,4; 1The University of Melbourne, Australia; 2Southwest Jiaotong University, China; 3 University of Electronic Science and Technology Communication, China; 4Centre for Energy- Efficient Telecommunications (CEET), Australia. We demonstrate channel equalization of two-mode fiber based MIMO system using more receivers than transmitters. Specifically, the equalization performances are compared among three methods including zeroforcing (ZF), minimum-mean-square-error (MMSE), and successive-interference-cancellation (SIC). Th.2.D.3 11:30 2X56-GB/S MODE-DIVISION MULTIPLEXED TRANSMISSION OVER 2KM OF OM2 MULTIMODE FIBRE WITHOUT MIMO EQUALIZATION Joel Carpenter1, Benn Thomsen2, Timothy D. Wilkinson1; 1 Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom; 2Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, University College London, United Kingdom. A Spatial Light Modulator is used to optically demultiplex modal channels on the basis of degenerate propagation constants using a shared phase mask for all channels. This allows groups of modes to be routed to common output fibres eliminating the need for MIMO equalization to transmit 2x56Gb/s QPSK over 2km of OM2 grade 50m core MMF. Th.2.E.2 11:30 SUPERCONTINUUM FREQUENCY COMB GENERATION IN DISPERSION OSCILLATING OPTICAL FIBER Alexej Sysoliatin1, Mikhail Y. Salganski1, Gabriele Manili2, Daniele Modotto2, Stefan Wabnitz2; 1Fiber Optics Research Center, Russian Federation; 2Dept. of Information Engineering, University of Brescia, Italy. We demonstrate that by pumping with a ps pulse a dispersion oscillating highly nonlinear optical fiber with average normal dispersion, quasi-phase-matched fourwave mixing generates a frequency comb superimposed to a supercontinuum extending over 250 nm and centered at 1550 nm.

Th.2.F.3 11:30 ALL-OPTICAL WAVELENGTH CONVERSION OF A 56 GB/S DQPSK SIGNAL AND ALL-OPTICAL DEMULTIPLEXING OF A 170 GB/S OOK SIGNAL IN CHALCOGENIDE PHOTONIC CRYSTAL FIBERS Sy Dat Le1,2, Mathilde Gay1,2, Laurent Bramerie1,2, Marcia Costa e Silva1,2, Kevin Lengle1,2, Christelle Pareige1,2, Thierry Chartier1,2, Monique Thual1,2, Jean Claude Simon1,2, Laurent Brilland3, David Mchin3, Perrine Toupin2,4, Johann Troles2,4; 1CNRS Foton, France; 2 Universit europenne de Bretagne, France; 3PERFOS, R&D platform of Photonics Bretagne, France; 4CNRS Sciences Chimiques de Rennes, France. We report on four-wave-mixing based all-optical wavelength conversion of a 56 Gb/s DQPSK signal and all-optical demultiplexing of a 170 Gb/s OOK signal in chalcogenide photonic crystal fibers. The high nonlinearity of the fibers allows error free and low power penalty operation with only 60 mW of total average power.

Th.2.B.4 11:45 ANALYSIS OF MODE PARTITION NOISE IN MULTIMODE FIBER LINKS WITH APPLICATION TO 100G ETHERNET Kasyapa Balemarthy2, Robert Lingle1; 1OFS, USA; 2OFS, India. We analyze the bit error rate of VCSEL-driven multimode fiber links with mode partition noise. We predict a decaying BER even at high SNRs in-contrast to the Ogawa-Agrawal model. This model is pessimistic for 4x25G MMF links with practical VCSELs.

Giddings1, Emilio Hugues-salas1, Shalva BenEzra2, Jianming Tang1; 1School of Electronic Engineering, Bangor University, United Kingdom; 2Finisar Israel, Israel. Utilising only 4GS/s DAC/ADCs and without increasing component bandwidths, record-high real-time end-toend dual-band 17.5Gb/s optical OFDM transmission is experimentally demonstrated over an EML-based 25km SSMF IMDD system.

For the first time, a long-reach 400G transmission proposal based on quad-carrier PM-QPSK with a net spectral efficiency of 4b/s/Hz was experimentally demonstrated. Under the constraint of narrowing 100GHz bandwidth, 512Gb/s quad-carrier PM-QPSK signals were delivered over 2400km SMF-28 with EDFAonly amplification at BER below SD pre-FEC limit.

The effectiveness of digital coherence enhancement (DCE) for ultra-long-haul uncompensated coherent transmission is experimentally demonstrated. The maximum reach of a 100 Gb/s DP-QPSK system with a low-cost DFB local oscillator is increased from 1600 to 4400 km by DCE, equaling the maximum reach of a narrow-linewidth ECL local oscillator.

Th.2.D.4 11:45 EXPERIMENTAL DEMONSTRATION OF LDPC CODED FREE-SPACE, SPACE-DIVISION-MULTIPLEXED SYSTEMS USING ORBITAL ANGULAR MOMENTUM MODES Yongxiong Ren1, Hao Huang1, Yequn Zhang2, Yang Yue1, Yan Yan1, Nisar Ahmed1, Ivan Djordjevic2, Sam Dolinar3, Alan Willner1; 1Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Southern California, USA; 2Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Arizona, USA; 3Jet Propulsion Lab, USA. The performance of LDPC coded four-mode multiplexed Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) data link using QPSK signal with net data rate of 320Gbit/s is experimentally investigated. The experiment results show that crosstalk effect can be efficiently mitigated and the LDPC codes with soft decoding can provide >7 dB coding depending on OAM crosstalk. Th.2.D.5 12:00 COMPLEXITY ANALYSIS FOR HIGHER ORDER FEW MODE FIBER DSP EQUALIZERS Beril Inan1, Bernhard Spinnler2, Filipe Ferreira3, Dirk van den Borne2, Susmita Adhikari4, Norbert Hanik1, Sander Jansen2; 1Technische Universitaet Muenchen, Germany; 2 Nokia Siemens Networks, Germany; 3Nokia Siemens Networks, Portugal; 4Christian-Albrechts-University, Germany. In this work, the DSP equalizer complexity is analyzed as a function of the modal dispersion and the number of supported modes of a few-mode fiber. It is shown that a training symbol based scheme such as OFDM is virtually unaffected by the increasing number of modes, whereas for blind FDE/TDE equalization the complexity drastically increases. Th.2.D.6 12:15 EVALUATION OF PHOTONIC LANTERNS FOR LOSSLESS MODE-MULTIPLEXING Nicolas K. Fontaine1, Roland Ryf1, Sergio G. LeonSaval2, Joss Bland-Hawthorn2; 1Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs, USA; 2Institute of Photonics and Optical Science (IPOS), The University of Sydney, Australia. We investigate photonic lanterns for lossless coupling without mode dependent loss between single-mode fibres and a multi-mode fibre supporting up to 15 spatial modes. Measurements of a 7-mode demultiplexer show <1 dB coupling and mode dependent loss.

Th.2.F.5 12:00 NONLINEAR PULSE DISTORTION IN FEW-MODE FIBER Naoise Mac Suibhne1,4, Regan Watts2, Stylianos Sygletos1,5, Fatima C.

Wednesday 19 September 2012 19:00 23:00 Conference Dinner and cruise on the "Saloon Steamer Prins van Oranje"
Boarding time 19:00 - dont be late - the ship wont wait! (boat will return at approx 23:00) You cannot come to The Netherlands and Amsterdam without getting on the water! Water is everywhere and the choice for a conference dinner on a boat is obvious. The allure of a "Saloon Steamer The Prins van Oranje" originates from early last century and wallows in the wealth and grandeur with which we associate private clubs of these times. This is mainly due to the fine wood paneling, elegant Art Deco lights, and the comfortable club armchairs. In the exclusive and intimate surroundings of the Prins van Oranje, business and personal relations flourished like nowhere else. The Prins van Oranje is a boat with allure that distinguishes itself in many ways. Location: De Ruijterkade, Steiger 17 A (300 m from of the Central Railway Station) Web: www.prins-van-oranje.nl Separate registration & payment required! Tickets can be purchased on-line or on-site (first come, first served) at a rate of 100 Maximum capacity is 300 persons
