High-capacity Optical Fibre Transmission Systems to High-sensitivity Quantum Detection
The first part of this presentation will provide a brief overview of optical technologies that enabled high-capacity fiber-optic communication systems, from single-mode fibers to fibers supporting multiple spatial modes. A perspective on the evolution of high-capacity systems will be discussed. The second part of the talk will focus on power-efficiency optical detection systems. More specifically, we will describe an experimental demonstration of a system operating at 12.5 bits/photon with optical clock transmission and recovery on free-running transmitters and receivers.

Speakers
Rene-Jean Essiambre
Biography:
Dr. René-Jean Essiambre worked in the areas of fiber lasers, non-linear fiber optics, advanced modulation formats, space-division multiplexing, information theory, and high-photon-efficiency systems. He participated in the design of commercial fiber-optic communication systems where several of his inventions were implemented. He has given over 150 invited talks and helped prepare and delivered the 2018 Physics Nobel Prize Lecture on behalf of Arthur Ashkin in Stockholm:
