The next CINCS (Communications, Information, Network, Circuits and Signal processing) seminar is on Wednesday November 30 at 3:00PM in RLE Allen Room 36-462 with guest speaker Xi (Vivian) Chen from Nokia Bell Labs.

Title

Ultra-High Speed Optical Transceivers

Abstract

An optical transceiver is one of the fundamental building blocks of high-speed fiber networks. This talk aims to give an overview of how an optical fiber network looks like, and the role of high-speed optical transmitters & receivers. The talk will also introduce the latest research topics in fiber communications and share perspectives on how future ultra-high-speed optical transceivers may look like.
