ECOC 2014 General Co-Chairs
Welcome Address
Since its creation, ECOC is the best venue in Europe for
catching up with the leading-edge research in the field of
optical communication and all related topics. If you have to
know about the latest technological or scientific discoveries,
ECOC is definitely the place to be!
We didnt compromise for this 40th edition of ECOC, which is

back again in Cannes, both an international crossroads and
a French glamorous seaside resort. The theme, the Latest
Advances in Optical Communication Technologies, features
this year a new content distribution in seven main areas, each
supervised by a dedicated subcommittee of world renown
experts, as you will see in the Technical Program Committee
description, in order to better reflect rapidly evolving
technical trends.
Leading-edge researchers will report their work through
a carefully selected blend of tutorial, invited and regular
papers - about 400 oral and poster presentations. Among hot
topics, to name a few, you will hear about spatial division
multiplexing and transmission technologies, mature InP
based modulators and Silicon Photonic integrated circuits,
signal processing (including all optical techniques for DSP
post processing coherent receiver simplification) and novel
synchronization schemes for ever increasing modulation
formats cardinality. Regarding switching and high capacity
transmission, you will notice a new momentum for research
on large port count optical packet switches, and numerous
contributions on non-linear distortions and their mitigations
through DSP. You will also learn how the aspiration for
networks function virtualization (NFV) could reshape
the transport network, and you will discover the value
of bandwidth-variable transceivers for flexible grooming
and bandwidth optimization. Optical Access and In-Door
technologies will also be under the spotlights, notably
through the everywhere penetrating high modulation
formats techniques, and a come back of free-space optics for
interconnects in data centers.
In addition to the ECOC program, a special CLEO Focus
Meeting will present, as every year since 2006, a selection
of papers highlighting some of the fundamental aspects of
Photonics for future telecommunication.
During the Plenary session, open to exhibitors, exciting and
thought-provoking keynote, addresses will be delivered by top
industry executives and academics. This session features talks
by Tim Krause, Chief Marketing Officer at Alcatel-Lucent,
USA; Mari-Nolle Jgo-Laveissire, Executive Vice President
of Innovation, Marketing and Technologies of Orange Group,
France; John Bowers, Director of the Institute for Energy
Efficiency and Kavli Professor of Nanotechnology, University
of California Santa Barbara, USA; and Rudy De Waele,
Technology Innovation Strategist, Futurist, Keynote speaker
and Author/ Curator of shift 2020, UK.
Notice that three Technical Symposia will put the light on
some specific research and development results. One is
dedicated to submarine systems for telecommunication

applications and beyond, another will address interconnects
in data centers. The third symposium will review past,
present, and future key developments, in a special event
celebrating the 40th edition of ECOC.
Finally, the Post-deadline session on Thursday afternoon will
give attendees the opportunity to hear new and significant
research in rapidly advancing areas at the earliest possible
stage.
In parallel to the conference, the ECOC exhibition covers a
wide range of optical communications products and services
and is expected to attract more than 300 exhibitors. Dont
miss the show!
This conference wouldnt be the same without its outstanding
social program: a Welcome reception located on a gorgeous
outdoor terrace with a spectacular view of the Mediterranean
sea, promising a warm climate and all the glamour of the
French Riviera in September; and a Gala Dinner at the Park
de Mougins, where you will be delighted to enjoy the fine
cuisine of the prestigious French caterer Lentre.
We look forward to extending a warm welcome to you in
Cannes for this 40th edition! And also, dont forget to give the
wireless network a hard time by tweeting, #ECOC2014 and
giving us feedback (@ECOC_2014) all along!

Foreword from the Technical

Programme Commitee Chairs
This area focuses on optical fibres, their design, fabrication and characterization,
the physics of light propagation in optical fibres, fibre amplifiers and fibre
lasers, devices to couple light into fibre, as well as fibre based devices for
communication and other applications.
This area focuses on design, fabrication, testing of performances and reliability

of devices and components used to generate, amplify, detect, switch, or
process optical signals for information transport and processing, routing and
interconnecting. Technologies include planar waveguides, bulk optics, based on
various material systems.
We would like to address our warmest thanks to the

workshop organizers, to the symposium organizers
but also to whole Technical Program Committee
(TPC), who have done a wonderful job ensuring
that ECOC remains a reference event.
Chair:
The field of optical communication has been

transforming very fast for four decades. Recent
years have not been different and we chose to adapt
the count and the perimeters of the subcommittees
to reflect the importance of some emerging topics
like digital signal processing and data center
networks.
At ECOC2014, there will be more subcommittees
than conference rooms. Delegates focusing on a
given topic may need to move from one room to the
next. We organized sessions so as to guarantee the
largest diversity of topics at every moment of the
conference.
We are delighted to announce the launch of a new
partnership with Journal of Lightwave Technology
for a special Issue on ECOC 2014 to be published
early 2015. The Technical Programme Committee
has shortlisted the authors of the 10% best scored
papers from each subcommittee (referred to as
highly scored in the programme listings), the
authors of all post deadline papers, the invited
speakers and the tutorial speakers, and asked all
of them to submit an extended version of their
work as invited paper into the special issue of
Journal of Lightwave Technology. By summarizing
the highlights of ECOC 2014, we believe that this
special issue will become a new reference issue for
the optical communication community.
Liaise with your peers, build the future and enjoy
the 40th edition of ECOC!

External source approach for silicon photonics transceivers

Peter De Dobbelaere, Luxtera, USA
Scope:
Silicon photonics is clearly becoming an enabling technology for the realization
of integrated optical transceivers for optical interconnect applications. The
key component that is difficult to realize in this technology however is the
laser source. Today there are several approaches for the laser source for silicon
photonics:
External laser source: classical III-V laser source is used and the emitted power
is distributed to the silicon chip via an optical fiber. The III-V Laser can be flip
chipped into the silicon chip.
Germanium epitaxially grown on silicon substrate: first electrically pumped
Germanium on Si lasers have been demonstrated using highly strained and
heavily doped Ge materials.
III-V on Si hetero-epitaxy: again first III-V on silicon lasers have been
demonstrated using Sb-based buffer.
Bonding of III-V dies/wafers: Dies or full epitaxially grown III-V wafers are
bonded to a processed Si wafer, and collectively processed.
This Workshop intends to give an update on the state of the art on each
approach, and to debate on the application fields of each approach. It is
organized in the framework of the EU project SEQUOIA Energy efficient Silicon
Emitter using heterogeneous integration of III-V QUantum dOt and quantum
dash materials.

Optical processing using spatial light modulators

Joel Carpenter, University of Sydney, Australia
Scope:
The face of optical communications has changed drastically over the last few years.
This is due to important breakthroughs that have been achieved both in optical,
but also, and perhaps even more crucially, in electronic technologies. Optical
technologies and optical domain processing subsystems mature continually and
address ever more sophisticated problems. However, with the widespread adoption
of digital signal processing (DSP), electronic components have played an ever
increasing role in optical networks. Today the vast majority of signal processing in
communication systems takes place after the optical signal has been detected. Even
functionalities, such as chromatic dispersion compensation, which have traditionally
been considered to be better tackled in the optical domain, are now left to the realm
of electronic processing.

Photonic Analogue-to-Digital Conversion
Stojan Radic, University of California San Diego, USA
This workshop aims to assess the state-of-the-art in the processing of optical signals
using either optical and/or digital techniques. It will discuss the extent to which
signal processing is beneficially performed based purely on DSP and will explore
those application areas where optical domain processing can play an important
role. Ultimately, the workshop will try to identify those areas where optical domain
processing could either co-exist with, or augment, DSP based systems.
Optical techniques in support of MIMO digital signal processing in SDM

transmission
Roland Ryf, Alcatel-Lucent, USA
Some of the topics that will be discussed include:

Is the processing of advanced modulation formats better left to DSP? Techniques
for simultaneous multi-wavelength processing of optical signals. Optical signal
processing techniques that are insensitive to the state-of-polarisation and/or
chromatic dispersion. Optical vs electronic vs hybrid filtering and pulse shaping.
What is the impact on end-to-end energy consumption of hybrid versus purely
DSP based? What is the optimum balance between MIMO processing and optical
techniques for mitigating modal cross-talk in spatial division multiplexed systems?
Could photonic digital-to-analogue and analogue-to-digital conversion become an
enabling technology for future DSP based systems?
Speakers include: (order will vary according to the ensuing discussion).

The benefits of integrating numerical simulations and experiments

Andre Richter, VPIphotonics, Germany
Scope:
Numerical simulations as well as experiments play a vital role in proving the
transmission concepts and related technologies. Thus the test protocols and
methods have to be up to the task and be carefully designed to avoid misleading
or too optimistic results.
The essential question that needs to be addressed: are the numerical simulation
protocols and the experimental techniques adequate to emulate what will
happen in real life (real environment)? The goal of this workshop is too examine
the existing test protocols and methods in the areas of WDM simulations,
laboratory and field transmission experiments, system and sub-system
characterization. Numerical simulations and experiments using novel techniques
that include complex modulation formats, soft decision forward error correction,
real time and off-line DSP, space division multiplexing will be reviewed. The
simulation/experimental specifics like for example pattern sizes, or questions like
what represents the proper performance metric, Q factor or mutual information
all fall in the scope of the discussion on the test protocols

PART 1 - What is NG-PON2 and what will be the opportunities for

operators?
Scope:
Next-generation optical access (NGOA) solutions are mandatory to keep pace
with the steady traffic growth in residential, business and backhaul markets. The
pervasiveness of high-quality multi-media applications paired with a shift from
broadcast to unicast services calls for future-proof solutions which are scalable
to per-user data rates in the (multi) gigabit region for residential users. At the
same time backhauling and business applications require even higher data rates
of 10 Gb/s and beyond. A single platform for residential, business and backhaul
applications, the consolidation of local exchange offices, and the minimization
of active field equipment are further NGOA drivers. They result not only in
simplified network planning and more integration but also in reduced energy
costs.
Due to the high transmission capacity offered by optical fiber (especially as PON
standards evolve towards multi-wavelength solutions) PONs can provide high
speed access at lower cost compared to bespoke point-to-point architectures,
making it a potentially attractive solution also for high-end business applications
(e.g. mobile back-haul, logical high-capacity links for small SPs, or any
institution that used to be served by point-to-point leased lines). However,
designing a PON access architecture that is able to satisfy the heterogeneous
requirements of different services and applications, while maintaining low cost
and energy consumption, is a challenging problem.
The aim of this workshop is bringing together speakers from system vendors,
carriers and academia to create an open discussion. Latest results from research
projects will be presented as well as current standardization efforts.
A tentative list of topics and contributors is given below. This list may be later
updated on the web site until the workshop actually takes place.

This symposium will be dedicated to cover new developments in submarine

systems.
It will be divided in two sessions on submarine systems with short
presentations and ending with open discussions between contributors and
with the floor.
One sub-session will be on the evolution of submarine telecom systems
with the advent of 100Gbit/s and 400Gb/s transoceanic systems, advanced
formats and signal processing in terminal, and reconfigurability (ROADM)
and alternative new technologies for the submarine wet plant.
The other sub-session will be devoted to non-conventional applications of
submarine systems, from Oil & Gas platform communication and reservoir
monitoring to scientific and ecologic applications, such as tsunami, earthquake detection or thermal sensor.

Abstract:
This symposium considers the state of the art in high-performance, lowenergy, low cost and small-size optical interconnect technologies across the
different hierarchical levels of the Data Centre. The proliferation of mobile
data applications is causing a dramatic shift in the location in which data
is stored from client based or mobile storage to Cloud data centres with
projections that around 60% of all data will be stored in the Cloud by 2020.
The projected increase in capacity, processing power and bandwidth density
in data centre environments is being addressed by the increasing deployment
of optical interconnect at a rack level in current generation data centre
and HPC systems. This has opened the door to faster and greener system
implementations, but is not sufficient to sustain current performance trends
and contain energy consumption. Photonics have now started to migrate into
all levels of the interconnect hierarchy, from rack-to-rack, board-to-board,
chip-to-chip and ultimately intra-chip data links, in order to meet this rapidly
growing demand on digital information transmission, capture, storage and
processing. This technology migration is already strongly reflected in the
research, development and strategic activities of mainstream organisations in
the data centre and broader ICT space and the emergence of a new technology
eco-system. Motivated by recent breakthroughs and emerging technologies in
short reach optical interconnect and the evolution of data centre architectures,
this symposium aims to highlight the latest achievements on optical system
solutions and architectures, that are placing photonics among the key enabling
technologies of datacom and computercom evolution. We intend to draw
out and discuss the key technology enablers and inhibitors to widespread
commercial proliferation of photonic interconnect in mega data centre
environments and how the optical interconnect community can collectively
help to address these. The topics addressed will centre on passive and active
embedded photonic interconnect technologies including optical circuit boards,
polymer and glass waveguides, III-Vs, silicon photonics, photonic crystals and
plasmonics in data storage.

Abstract:
Within the past decades, optical communication technologies have

revolutionized the way we connect with family and friends, the way
we work, and the way we inform, educate and entertain ourselves.
From the very beginning, ECOC has witnessed and accompanied all the
related technological changes. To celebrate the 40th edition of ECOC,
this symposium intends to review some of the past key developments,
but also explore some current telecom usage and future trends. We will
do it not only from a technical point of view, but also from a societal
and philosophical point of view. Starting with what we learnt and our
expectations at the first ECOC in 1975, we will pursue with an overview of
semiconductor lasers historical developments and trends, as well as guided
wave and transmission developments and trends. Current usages will be
explored through an example of telecom deployment for big international
events. A prospective strategic view of the market and the evolution of
the next ten years will then give us some insight into the traffic pattern
evolution, the cloud transformation and the related network architecture
changes. At last, the profound impact telecom industry is having and will
continue to have on our lives will be discussed.

A radical shift is taking place in the way the worlds networks are being
architected for the future which will translate into tremendous pressure
points for scale and flexibility in optical technology advances. Step function
advances in speed of innovation are needed to not only to meet this basic
demand but also to return a level of stability to an industry which has
struggled to hold its position in the economic value chain in an internet
driven economy.
10:50 TRANSFORMING NETWORKS TO

ENHANCE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
Mari-Nolle Jgo-Laveissire,
Executive Vice President of Innovation, Marketing and Technologies of Orange
Group, France
At Orange we operate a large variety of networks from fixed and mobile
access networks in around 30 countries to international backbones. We have
always been very active in designing and deploying enhanced technologies and
solutions to anticipate the needs of our customers. These needs continue to
evolve towards higher throughputs and volumes of traffic, enriched services,
increased quality of service and improved performance (in terms of security,
cost, and energy efficiency). Thats why optical networks are required to evolve
to meet future demands. Beyond Gbps fibre access, it will be key to find the
right mechanisms to enhance customer experience and quality of service.
Those improvements will be based on self-optimising networks, big data
analytics, policy mechanisms, etc. to ensure that we deliver and fully master
the customized experience we provide to our customers.

Software-Defined Networking brings application-level

programmability to access and aggregation networks.
This paper explains architectures and use-cases and
reviews recent work.
We review recent experimental demonstration of

transoceanic multi-core-fiber transmission with multicore EDFAs. With the help of Super-Nyquist WDM
techniques, the product of the transmission capacity
and distance of 1 Exabit/skm has been achieved.
We propose an extinction-ratio and chirp tunable

modulator in single-drive operation. Using the
modulator, we demonstrated precise amplitude
modulation without parasitic phase modulation.
Extinction-ratio was larger than 52.2 dB, with low
chirp (< |0.007|) operation.

Micro-resonator based Optical Frequency Comb
Tobias Kippenberg - EPFL, Lausane, Switzerland
We review opportunities and challenges for subsea communication

technologies to support growth of mega-datacenter computing in the next
decade. Best features of terrestrial and submarine dispersion unmanaged
line systems are combined to match exponential growth of capacity in
datacenter network.
The generation of optical frequency combs in microresonators will be

reviewed, enabling on-chip integration of combs with GHz repetition
rates. Recent experiments that demonstrate the generation of
solitons are describes and the application of these combs for coherent
communication reviewed.
We propose to use Han-Kobayashi (HK) coding and dirty-paper coding

(DPC) to cope with inter-carrier interference (ICI) in dual-carrier
transmissions. We show the considerable benefit of those methods to
increase throughput in presence of strong ICI for dense carrier spacing.
An experimental comparison is made between nonlinearity mitigation

through coherent super-position optically in a phase-sensitive amplifier and
electrically in DSP. The improved nonlinear tolerance isquantified in terms
of EVM with high received power and sensitivity with high launch power.

We present a WDM transponder that balances the power between the SDFEC receiver and the Chromatic Dispersion compensator according to the
selected modulation format. Simulations show DSP power gains of 31% at
the scale of a continental WDM network.
It is necessary to increase flexibility in next generation undersea networks

by adopting OADM technologies similar to that deployed in terrestrial
networks. The talk will examine the technologies, applications, and
operating issues involved in implementing such flexibility in submarine
networks.

generation in the MIR spectral region may be obtained from planar
microring resonators, by combining analytical dispersion engineering
with generalized nonlinear envelope equation simulations of the
temporal frequency comb dynamics.

NGPON2 Technology and Standards
Derek Nesset - BT, Ipswich, UK
Tutorial overview of the latest generation of PON
technology standards nearing completion in ITU-T.
NGPON2 offers a capacity of 40Gbit/s by exploiting
multiple wavelengths at DWDM channel spacing and
tunable transceiver technology in the ONUs.
Current industry debate addressed in this paper

relates to when is the most appropriate time for
carriers to: (a) install flexgrid ready components, and
(b) enable them and start using the technology.
The impact of higher-order modulation-dependent

nonlinear interference noise on system performance is
studied in both dispersion-managed and unmanaged
links, and compared to the predictions of the Gaussian
Noise Model.

Impact of Low-OSNR Operation on the

We find evidence that low-OSNR operation causes
substantial penalty on system maximum reach due
to non-linear noise generated by ASE noise and due
to signal-power conversion into non-linear noise.
Neglecting these effects may lead to quite substantial
performance prediction error.
Phase noise measurements have been made on a freerunning discrete mode laser diode operating at 1550
nm. We demonstrate emission linewidths as low as
70 kHz at 8.6-mW output power and characterise the
device in a 16-QAM transmission setup.

In dispersion-unmanaged 100-Gbit/s single-channel

transmission, the one-to-one relationship between
error-rate and noise variance does not hold at high
powers. More accurate error assessment than with
Gaussian modeling can be obtained by involving high
order statistics.
We developed an electro-absorption modulator

integrated DFB laser using a lateral pindiode
structure. Selective doping by thermal diffusion
and ion implantation is essential for fabricating
amonolithic integrated device. The device was
modulated by 50-Gbit/s-NRZ signal with cleareyeopening.

Demonstration of Real-Time Ethernet to

A real-time Ethernet to reconfigurable superchannel
data converter is demonstrated in a flexigrid EON
network. Ethernet packets are aggregated and
groomed by an FPGA-based optoelectronics to a
reconfigurable superchannel signal with variable
capacity from 160Gbit/s to 2.56Tbit/s.
We show that a non pre-dispersed channel suffers

a phase-noise-like nonlinear interference from
neighboring channels with high cumulated predispersion. In such a configuration we quantify the
impact of fiber type and the relative Q-factor penalty.
We successfully reduce the operating energy of a

DFB laser for use in datacom applications. Since the
optical confinement factor is increased by integrating
the device on SiO2/Si substrate, the device exhibits
171-fJ/bit energy cost when modulating 25.8-Gbit/s
NRZ signal.

Ernesto Ciaramella - Scuola Superiore Sant Anna, Pisa,

We experimentally demonstrate a 1.25 Gb/s
wavelength-to-the-user full duplex PON with
bidirectional operation on a single WDM channel. A
polarization-independent intradyne coherent receiver
alleviates the impact of in-band reflections, allowing
to tolerate 35 dB loss in the Optical Distribution
Network.
The regenerator placement is optimized in a coderate-adaptive optical network with flexible grid and
guaranteed QoT, using a genetic algorithm approach.
Results demonstrate that code rate adaptation reduces
both the number of regenerators and the spectrum
utilization.
Intra-superchannel nonlinear crosstalk affects center

subcarriers of multi-carrier superchannels more than
the edge subcarriers.Its impact on center subcarriers
significantly increases with increase of the number
of subcarriers. Power pre-emphasis of subcarriers
effectively equalizes performance and extends reach
by 20%.
We fabricated a compact electro-absorption slowlight modulator laterally-integrated with a 980nm

VCSEL. We figured out 3-dB small-signal modulation
bandwidth over 20 GHz with sub-volt operation on
30 m-long device. Our tapered waveguide structure
enables quasi-unidirectional coupling for avoiding
optical feedback.

We improved the power budget of WDM/TDM-PON

system to extend the transmission distance over
80km. Compact EDFA suppressing the impact of
optical power surge and equalization technology
enabled power budget over 43.5dB.
We experimentally demonstrate an efficient binary

phase quantizer operating at low pump powers.
Phase-sensitive operation is obtained by polarization
mixing the phase-locked signal/idler pair in a
degenerate dual-pump vector parametric amplifier.
We show that phase noise estimation based on

Bayesian filtering outperforms conventional
time-domain approaches in the presence of
moderate measurement noise. Additionally, carrier
synchronization based on Bayesian filtering, in
combination with expectation maximization, is
demonstrated for the first time experimentally
A differential impedance-engineered 32 Gbit/s SiGe

driver co-designed with an InP-based MZ-Modulator
is demonstrated, showing record low 185 mW power
consumption. The small footprint and low power is
targeting towards CFP4-sized coherent transceivers.
Results on IQ-Modulators will be presented.

A lens-integrated surface-emitting laser array has been

developed for optical module compliant with Parallel
Single-mode 4-lane Multi-Source Agreement (PSM4
MSA) for 100GbE applications. High-efficiency optical
coupling to SMF with two-lens configuration and
uncooled 25-Gb/s operation over all four-channels
were demonstrated.
We propose a dynamic-load-balancing algorithm that

is derived using Jains fairness index. Simulation

demonstration confirms a shorter link-up time by

Digital Signal processing enabled coherent 100/400

Gbit/s transceivers for long-reach links. Short-reach
(< 100km) links also demand 100/400 Gbit/s but
more stringent cost, size and power consumption
requirements need to be adressed. Potential

are discussed.
We analyze the performance of a degenerate vector

multi-tenancy is enabled by a new virtual data center embedding method
that is equipped with network-aware VM placement exploiting the

A different approach, focusing both on the power build-up and the

This tutorial reviews the latest developments in

Digital Signal Processing for coherent transceivers and
their use in Next Generation Optical networks.
Possible device configurations for the next-generation

passive optical network (NG-PON2) are reviewed on
the basis of system requirements. The most significant
issue is how to cost-effectively implement a tunable
function in optical components because NG-PON2
introduces a wavelength division multiplexing.

viability, significant effort is required to satandardize testing methods
and procedures to fabricates and qualify functionnal parameters of
optical waveguides and board specifications. We show examples of the
first deployements of standardised PCB fabrication and measurement

the advent of Silicon Photonics, DWDM can provide
the basis for 5G transport satisfying requirements on
performance, low cost and flexibility.
We review single parity check based bit-interleaved

sensitivity and large Euclidean distance and can
remove phase ambiguity which allows approaching
nonlinear Shannon limit.

temporal correlations can be exploited for reducing
the impact of NLIN, and discuss the prospects of this
procedure in future communication systems.
We demonstrated a four-mode multi/demultiplexer

using an LP11 mode rotator and a parallelwaveguide

This presentation will provide an overview of how

Orange teams manage big international event such
as the Tour de France, from telecommunications
perspectives and especially with the roll-out of Optical
Fiber Networks.
We experimentally demonstrate a novel fibre

nonlinearity compensation technique for CO-OFDM
based on phase-conjugated pilots (PCPs), showing
that, by varying the PCP overhead a performance
improvement up to 4 dB can be achieved allowing
highly flexible adaptation to link characteristics.

multiple four-wave mixing process involving any number N of waves,
equally spaced in frequency. We compare the model with experimental
results for N=6 and find excellent agreement.
We experimentally demonstrate free-space optical transmission using two

We optimize the allocation of coded bits to

modulation bits for spatially coupled low-density
parity-check (SC-LDPC) codes and PM-64-QAM.
Tailbiting SC-LDPC codes are shown to offer a similar
gap to capacity as their terminated counterparts, at a
lower FEC overhead.
Few-mode multicore fibre (FM-MCF) is a candidate

for next-generation fibre which can drastically
improve transmission capacity. Design requirements
for FM-MCF and characteristics of a three-mode 12core fibre that we fabricated are reviewed.
Traffic will undoubtedly continue to grow, but

it is important to put this into perspective. This
presentation will categorize growth rates and propose
cost effrective solutions in Access, Metro and Long
Haul without the need to replace existing fiber.

A 2.5Gb/s/? bi-directional coherent UDWDM-PON is demonstrated with
4-ASK modulation using heterodyne detection. The frequency offset
tolerance is around 6 GHz within 0.5-dB penalty, and no EDFA is needed in
either ONU or OLT.
A photonics-based dual-band coherent radar transceiver is presented. The

paper details on the working principle and experimentally validate the
architecture simultaneously generating and detecting two signals in S- and
X-band, and measuring the Doppler shift of a real target.

We firstly demonstrate a coherent Ultra-Dense WDM-PON with much
enhanced spectral and bandwidth efficiency using Nyquist independent
sideband modulation. A capacity of 1200 10-Gb/s users at 5.628-bits/s/
Hz spectral efficiency is demonstrated with an ODN loss budget of 35.5 dB.
