SILICON PHOTONICS FOR NEXT GENERATION COMPUTING SYSTEMS (TUTORIAL)
Vlasov, Yurii
The current tendency in high performance computing systems is to increase the parallelism in processing at all levels utilizing multithreads, increasing the number of chips in racks and blades, as well as increasing the number of cores on a chip. The scaling of overall system performance that soon might approach Exaflop/s is, however, out of balance with respect to limited available bandwidth for shuttling ExaBytes of data across the system, between the racks, chips and cores. We will discuss how optics can provide huge power and bandwidth benefits closer and closer to the chip and eventually into the chip itself that would allow to overcome severe constraints of today’s mostly copper I/O interconnects. Particular emphasis will be given to silicon photonics integrated circuits designed for low power off-chip and on-chip optical networks. |

MULTI-FUNCTION INTEGRATED INP-BASED PHOTONIC CIRCUITS (TUTORIAL)
Coldren, Larry
Although InP-based photonic ICs (PICs) have been researched for many years, widespread acceptance of the viability of such technologies has not occurred until recently. A few relatively new commercial existence proofs have now proven that multiple functions can be successfully performed on a single InP chip with advantages in cost, size, performance, and power dissipation. As a result of these, as well as some market realities and an ever growing body of research existence proofs, the development of viable PIC products now seems to be a key goal of many component suppliers. This tutorial will review current integration approaches and results, with some slight emphasis on our UCSB work. |

PHOTONIC BANDGAP FIBRES (TUTORIAL)
Birks, Tim
Photonic bandgap fibres have a cladding that is carefully structured to reject light of certain frequencies and propagation constants. The light is therefore confined to a core that can even be made of air, something that is not possible in conventional fibres that guide by total internal reflection. Since the first one was made 10 years ago, bandgap fibres have been demonstrated that guide light with low loss, low optical nonlinearity, strong gas-phase interactions and useful transmission spectra. This tutorial will review the various designs and applications of bandgap fibres, and consider how their bandgaps arise.. |

TRENDS IN OPTICAL ACCESS AND IN-BUILDING NETWORKS (TUTORIAL)

As users require ever more speed, variety and personalization in ICT services, the capacity and versatility of access networks needs to be expanded. The first generation of point-to-point and of point-to-multipoint time-multiplexed passive optical networks (PON) is being installed. More powerful wavelength-multiplexed and flexible hybrid wavelength-time multiplexed solutions are coming up. Radio-over-fibre techniques create pico-cells for high-bandwidth wireless services. Next to bringing the bandwidth luxury to the doorstep, it must be distributed inside the user’s home. By advanced signal processing techniques, high-capacity wired and wireless services are jointly distributed in a low-cost converged in-building network using multimode (plastic) optical fibre. |

HIGH-SPEED DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING FOR OPTICAL COMMUNICATIONS (TUTORIAL)
Sitch, John
Today’s electronic processing capability means that it is now possible to perform extensive signal processing at the highest commercial data rates. In this tutorial we discuss the design and technologies behind the use of signal processing for optical communications systems, and the choices available to the designer. Signal processing techniques, originally developed for wireless applications, are finding new uses, albeit at higher date rates, (and very much higher carrier frequencies) in the field of fibre-optic communications. Guided waves in fibre present new phenomena, which we must deal with in order to get the most out of this new application of technology. |

COHERENT TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS (TUTORIAL)
Kikuchi, Kazuro
Coherent optical communications were studied extensively in the 1980s; however, their R&D activities have been interrupted for almost 20 years behind the rapid progress in high-capacity WDM systems using EDFAs. In 2005, the demonstration of the digital coherent receiver stimulated a widespread interest in coherent optical communications again. This is because such receiver enables us to employ a variety of spectrally-efficient multi-level modulation formats. In addition, we can realize post-processing functions such as compensation for GVD and PMD in the digital domain.
In this lecture, after talking about the history, we discuss state-of-the-art coherent technologies and challenges for the future
