OECC/PSC 2025

Organizers: Koji Igarashi (Osaka University), Patrick Runge (HHI), Han Sun (Infinera), Hideki Yagi (Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.)

This symposium is organized to celebrate the 20 years anniversary from OFC 2005, where two pioneering works on digital coherent transmission, i.e., dispersion compensation and coherent demodulation in digital domain, were presented. Taking advantage of the progress in DSP ASIC and photonic integrated circuits (PICs), coherent optical communication technology has become a major driving force of device and system developments. This symposium provides an opportunity for reviewing the evolution of this field over the 20 years, covering the latest progress and challenges in PICs and systems for coherent transmission, and looking ahead toward future breakthrough including how to take full advantage of the potential of coherent technologies and explore new applications in short-reach and datacenter networks.
