International Conference on Optical Communications and Networks (ICOCN) 2011

In 2011, the conference will be held in Guangzhou, China. The main goal of this conference is to provide an important forum for scientists, professionals, and industrialists in the field of optical communications and networks and to foster the exchange of information, opinions, ideas and experiences among them in this fast-moving and exciting field.

The 10th ICOCN (ICOCN 2011) invites high-quality recent research results in the following areas:
 
1.Transmission Systems
This area focuses on the modelling, design, and implementation of optical fiber,highlighting system-level applications of subsystems and networking elements as well as system-level implications of physical impairments and impairment mitigation techniques.

·WDM transmission system design, modelling, and experiments
·High-speed optical transmission systems
·High-spectral-efficiency optical transmission systems
·Implications of modulation formats, subcarrier multiplexing, and OFDM on system performance
·Implications of coherent detection on system performance

2.Subsystems for Optical Networks
This area focuses on the modelling, design, and implementation of optical, opto-  electronic, or electrical subsystems and network elements for fixed or adaptive impairment mitigation, performance monitoring, add-drop multiplexing, and optical packet processing.

·Transmitter and receiver subsystems for direct detection and for coherent systems
·Modulation and demodulation subsystems for single-carrier and multi-tone formats
·Optical and electronic signal processing and impairment mitigation subsystems
·Coherent detection subsystems and algorithms
·Performance estimation and performance monitoring techniques
·Optical regeneration and wavelength conversion subsystems
