ECOC 2013 - PROGRAMME

ECOC 2013 COMMITTEESWELCOME TO ECOC 2013
ECOC is the largest conference on opticalcommunication in Europe, and one of themost respected and long-standing eventsof its kind in the world. ECOC 2013 is the39th of the series providing, as it has done
every year since its inception, a prime
forum to present and discuss the verylatest developments and results in opticalcommunication devices, subsystems,
transmission systems and networks.
ECOC travels around in Europe fromyear to year and ECOC 2013 marks a verysignificant event in that it represents thefirst return to London, location of the very
first ECOC conference held back in 1975.
Few of those involved in organising thisoriginal conference (which includes thetwo chairs for 2013!) could have foreseen
the important role that the conference
they created would play in the future
evolution of optical communications, nor
indeed the impact the field would go on
to have on society itself. After 39 years
ECOC remains as relevant and vibrantas ever. The fact that about 50% of theconference delegates typically come from
Europe, about 30% from Asia/Pacific andabout 20% from North America, highlightsthat ECOC is a truly global conference.
At ECOC 2012, held in Amsterdam, over
1100 delegates attended the conferenceplus 329 exhibitors with around 4483
visitors to the exhibition, a slight increasein numbers over the ECOCs of previous
years. All the indications are that ECOC
2013 will demonstrate yet further growthwith paper submissions up by 12.6% andwith a slight increase in exhibitor numbersfor 2013.
The latest advances in opticalcommunication technologies will bereported at ECOC 2013. Leading-edge
technical progress will be presented
through a carefully selected blend of
keynote addresses, tutorial and invited
papers and contributed regular andpostdeadline papers.
The plenary session on Monday morning

4(Monday, 21 September) features talks by:
Stephen Baily, General Manager, Researchand Development, BBC; Dr Peter Stassar,
Technical Director Optical Research,
Huawei Technologies; Dr Bernard
Barani, Deputy Head of Unit European
Commission, DG Connect (Talk Title);
Dr Tim Whitley, Managing Director,
Research and Innovation, BT Plc; Warren
East, Chief Executive Officer, ARM andProfessor Eli Yablonovitch, Director of the
NSF Center for Energy Efficient Electronics
Science, Berkley.
The bulk of the conference programme
is built on invited and contributed
technical papers, carefully chosen
through a rigorous and highly competitive
selection process for either oral orposter presentation by an outstanding
Technical Programme Committee,
comprising around 100 well-known opticalcommunications experts. It is organised
into 6 sub-committees: “Fibers, Fiber
Devices and Amplifiers”, “Waveguides andOptoelectronic Devices”, “Subsystems for
Optical Networks and Datacomms”, “Point
to Point Transmission Systems”, “Optical
Transport and Large Scale Data Networks”
and “Access, Local Area and Data Centre
Networks”.
Two full-day special symposia areorganised (Tuesday, 24 September)covering two increasingly important
topics in the field. These symposia
bring together a list of well-known andhighly respected speakers and will cover“Nanophotonics and Metamaterials
for Telecommunications” and “NextGeneration Datacenters”.
The Workshops on Sunday, 22
September provide the opportunity forhighly interactive discussions on some ofthe very hottest research topics.
As a special feature this year, the TPC
chairs have organised a half-day workshop
aiming to showcase UK photonics
research. The workshop will take place
on Wednesday, 25 September in the

ECOC Exhibition Hall and will celebrateachievements, highlight the impact anddiscuss future directions of UK photonics
research. The event is admission free andis open to ECOC delegates and outside
visitors.
The technical programme concludes
on Thursday, 26 September with a
Postdeadline session, arguably thehighlight of the conference, where the verylatest and most outstanding results will bepresented.
ECOC 2013 provides the ideal
opportunity for anyone interested in opticalcommunications, including researchers,
product developers, sales managers andtelecommunication analysts and market
developers, to develop an up-to-dateunderstanding of the field.
The ECOC 2013 conference organisationcommittee has prepared an exciting social
programme to complement the technicalprogramme. These include a conference
reception at a traditional British Pub andRestaurant and a Gala dinner at The
Painted Hall, Old Royal Naval College at
Greenwich which is often described asthe ‘finest dining hall in Europe’. Designed
by Sir Christopher Wren and Nicholas
Hawksmoor, it was originally intended as
an eating space for the naval veterans
who lived here at the Royal Hospital for
Seamen. Its exuberant wall and ceilingdecorations pay tribute to British maritime
power.
We encourage you to take theopportunity whilst here to visit the cityof London, with the immense choice ofsightseeing, cultural entertainment anddining experiences that it provides. Youmight also like to consider extending yourstay and experiencing some of the otherexciting leisure and business opportunities
that the UK has to offer.

Abstract
We experience Internet traffic growth of 100 times every 10 years. The
capacity of existing standard single-mode fibre is approaching its limits
following significant progress on transmission technologies which allow
for high spectral efficiencies to be realised. Space Division Multiplexing(SDM) has emerged as a solution to the problem of saturation of thecapacity of optical transmission systems and has effectively achieved a
10-fold increase in the overall fibre capacity within the space of just 2
years. The idea behind SDM is to transmit simultaneously over several
different spatial modes of propagation, and the research community is
exploring in parallel several different avenues that would allow this tohappen; the use of fibres comprising multiple cores, multimode fibres
and even the use of optical vortices are the prime examples. In orderto fully benefit from the advantages of SDM technologies in a complete
network scenario, the corresponding devices for the implementation of
optical nodes, transceivers and networks will also need to be developed.
However, clearly the relative benefits of the different SDM technologies
are not the same and several technical and economic challenges need tobe addressed before the wide adoption by service providers.

Abstract
In the last few years major progress has been made in the developmentof a generic foundry infrastructure for low-cost access to design andmanufacturing of advanced Photonic ICs, in a similar way to how the
microelectronics industry is configured. The approach has been pioneeredin European projects like EuroPIC, PhotonFAB, HELIOS and ESSENTIALS.
It is further developed in the projects PARADIGM and PLAT4M and it
has a prominent place in the roadmap of the Photonics21 platform. The
generic photonic foundry approach includes development of standardized
fabrication processes, software design kits with component libraries,
generic packages and test facilities. This year novel foundry processes
with improved capabilities in both InP, Silicon Photonics and TriPleX
technology have been announced and will be discussed in the workshop.
The workshop will review the roadmap for the generic photonic foundry
approach and it will address the business opportunities that are created by
the large reduction of the entry costs for application of Photonic ICs in novelor improved products. The present workshop is organized by the integration
technology platforms ePIXfab and JePPIX, it is the 5th event of the annual
European Photonic Integration Forum.

Abstract
Recently, space division multiplexing (SDM) based on multi-core or multi-mode
fibres has attracted a great deal of attention in huge capacity data transmission
technologies. Similar to conventional systems, SDM based transmission
systems are composed of transmitters, receivers, amplifiers and optical fibres.
Large scale integration is recognised as an important step towards reducing
costs in conventional systems and in SDM based systems there is the potential
to achieve even greater component consolidation. However this requires
dramatic improvement of the system components to increase total transmission
capacity. The purpose of this workshop is to discuss device requirements forlarge-scale SDM systems which should have a high number of transmitters andreceivers, advanced modulation formats to increase the total capacity andlow power consumption to construct sustainable network systems. Crosstalkshould be suppressed in SDM systems to avoid degradation of advanced
modulation formats. Integration is the key technology for such optoelectronic
components and is important for the fibre itself as well as optical components
such as connectors, mux/demux devices and amplifiers. This workshop,
co-organised and sponsored by EU FP7 project MODEGAP and the
EXAT program, Japan, will review and discuss possible new technologies
including optoelectronic device integration, amplifiers for SDM, multi-core
and few mode fibres. The goal of this workshop is to achieve insights for the

Abstract
Short-reach optical interconnects have recently attracted significant
interest due to the ever increasing demand for bandwidth and reduced
energy consumption in large-scale high-performance electronic systems.
Optical fibre technologies are now widely deployed in rack-to-rackcommunications in such systems as they can offer high-capacity lowpower interconnections. Next generation supercomputers are expected
to require even larger interconnection capacities and reduced power
consumption. As a result, optics is increasingly being considered for use
in even shorter (<1 m) communication links such as for backplanes andboard-to-board, chip-to-chip and on-chip communications owing to theperformance advantages it offers with respect to electrical interconnect
counterparts when operating at high data rates: larger bandwidth,
immunity to electromagnetic interference, reduced power consumption
and relaxed thermal management requirements. However, the costeffective integration of optics into existing electronic systems constitutes
a significant technological challenge. Optical technologies need to becompatible with existing electronic system architectures and conventional
manufacturing processes of the electronics industry and allow systemassembly and packaging at low costs.
This workshop will therefore consider the drivers and optical technologies
for next generation very short reach (sub metre) interconnects. This will
include guided wave and free space approaches, and will consider lengthscales for on-chip (~mm), on board (~10cm) and backplane (~1m)
communications as well as interconnect architectures for the above
applications. Finally barriers to adoption of optical technologies over the
existing Cu incumbent technologies will be considered.

Abstract
Wavelength Switched Optical Networks (WSON) were designed withthe premise that all channels in a network have the same spectrum
needs, based on the ITU-T DWDM grid. However, this rigid grid-based
approach is not adapted to the spectrum requirements of the signalsthat are best candidates for long-reach transmission and high-speed
data rates of 400Gbps and beyond. An innovative approach is to evolvethe fixed DWDM grid to a flexible grid, in which the optical spectrum ispartitioned into fixed-sized spectrum slices. This allows facilitating therequired amount of optical bandwidth and spectrum for an elastic opticalconnection to be dynamically and adaptively allocated by assigning
the necessary number of slices of spectrum. Additionally, since optical
networks represent the core substrate responsible for inter-carrier datatransport, other key research topics addressed in this area include
possibly standardized multicarrier and multivendor control solutions tomake more effective and open (i.e. vendor-independent) the current
implementations. Furthermore new control plane solutions are necessary
to introduce dynamicity, elasticity and adaptation in flexi-grid DWDM
networks. This workshop aims to provide an overview of the objectives,
framework, functional requirements and use cases of elastic optical
network architectures and their control architectures. In particular somethe topics to be covered in the workshop are: architectural design and use
cases for Elastic Optical Networks, metro and core Flexgrid architectures,
IP/MPLS and Flexgrid integration, SDN application in elastic optical
networks, control architectures for cognitive optical networks, Flexgrid
control plane standardization.

Abstract
Software Defined Network (SDN) is becoming an established trend
in operation and management of today’s networks from Data Centre
to telecomm operators’ infrastructures. This trend has been recently
reinforced by the evolution of network services by means of Network
Functions Virtualisation (NFV) and the consolidation of the OpenFlow
protocol that support decoupling of network control and data plane. SDN
brings a promising solution to network operators and Data Centre providers
for reducing the complexity and costs of deploying and managing theirnecessarily heterogeneous networks and services. However, a SDN-based
network operating system supporting existing and emerging optical networktransport that will lay the foundation for true network programmability
at all network layers is still missing. This workshop will attempt to shedlight on SDN’s potentials and benefits as the basis of a network operating
system for control and management of optical network for telecom
network operators and Data Centre providers. It brings together leading
experts from research and industry to discuss solutions for extending
SDN frameworks, protocols and technologies to support new advancesin optical data plane technologies such as new photonic sub-wavelength
or grid-less technologies within context of data centre, access, metroand core networks. Finally, this workshop will also focus on the role andadvantage of SDN on supporting large-scale optical infrastructures.

Biography
Eli Yablonovitch is the Director of the NSF Center for Energy EfficientElectronics Science (E3S), a multi-University Center based at Berkeley.
He received his Ph.d. degree in Applied Physics from Harvard University
in 1972. He worked for two years at Bell Telephone Laboratories, andthen became a professor of Applied Physics at Harvard. In 1979 hejoined Exxon to do research on photovoltaic solar energy. Then in 1984,
he joined Bell Communications Research, where he was a Distinguished
Member of Staff, and also Director of Solid-State Physics Research. In
1992 he joined the University of California, Los Angeles, where he was
the Northrop-Grumman Chair Professor of Electrical Engineering. Thenin 2007 he became Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer
Sciences at UC Berkeley, where he holds the James & Katherine Lau
Chair in Engineering.
Prof. Yablonovitch is a Fellow of the IEEE, the Optical Society of America

Programme of research sponsored by the European Union. About €600M
have been invested in these technologies, a significant part having
been invested to support optical technologies and all optical networks.
With the upcoming Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme
covering the 2014-2020 financial period, new approaches and topics
are being contemplated to support the European network industry. The
talk will hence focus on how it is envisaged to cover the sector at large
under Horizon 2020, including the optical network technologies, and theretained priority themes for the first work programme.

Abstract: Energy efficiency in data centers, and in digital electronics
generally, tends to be ~10^6 times worse than theoretical limits. Inelectronics we need a more sensitive switch that could be controlled
by smaller voltages, measured in millivolts. In photonic Data-Comm weneed more sensitivity to reduce the number of photons/bit, by orders ofmagnitude.
The US NSF Center for Energy Efficient Electronics http://www.e3s-center.org/
is taking a multi-faceted approach to these problems that includes
research toward a new more sensitive semiconductor switch, nanomechanical switching, magnetic switching, and new more sensitive
photo-receivers.

SYMPOSIA PROGRAMME

Co-Chairsn Nikolay Zheludev, University of Southampton, UK & NTU, Singapore
n Nader Engheta, University of Pennslyvania, USA
n Harry Atwater, California Institute of Technology, USA
The fields of metamaterials and nanophotonics are closely interlinked.
Nanophotonics is now a major research direction in optical physics andengineering. Driven by the dream of unprecedented device functionality,
nanophotonics studies the exciting science of the interaction of light withnanostructures, at the size scale where optical, electronic, structural,
thermal and mechanical properties become deeply interdependent. The
aim is to control light in a minute device containing just a few layers of
atoms using signals carried by only a few photons and to do it very rapidly,
within just a few oscillation cycles of the light wave. Metamaterials are
artificial electromagnetic media achieved by structuring matter on a subwavelength scale. This field of research was catalysed a few years ago by
the intriguing opportunity to develop media that refract light in the opposite
direction to that of normal media. The field of metamaterials is now amajor research direction in photonics. Today its meaning encompasses
linear, nonlinear, switchable and artificial gain media offering all mannerof unusual and useful functionalities, achieved by artificially structuring
matter at sizes smaller than the length scale of the external stimulus.
Nanophotonics and metamaterials currently represent two of the mostdynamic areas of physics, engineering and materials science and havebeen facilitated by the recent proliferation of nanofabrication techniquessuch as high-resolution optical and electron beam lithography, focused ion
milling and nanoimprinting. With much of the basic physics now properly
understood the new challenge is to develop nanophotonic devices andmetadevices and to establish practical applications of the technology. The
main purpose of the symposium is to bring together research leaders in thenanophotonics, metamaterials and optical communications communities tofoster the exchange of ideas and to identify areas in which these potentially
technologies have the potential to have the greatest impact.

Special Symposia 2 - Next Generation Data Centres- Paving the way for the Zettabyte Era
Room: H
Co-Chairsn Juan Pedro Fernandez-Palacios, Telefónica, Spainn Harm J. S. Dorren, TU Eindhoven, Netherlandsn Jörg-Peter Elbers, ADVA Optical Networking, Germany
The global amount of digital information is growing at a staggering paceof 50% p.a. and will exceed 60 Zettabytes in 2020. While storing andprocessing of such massive data will offer new business opportunities, itwill also require new data centre and data centre networking architecturesto provide the necessary scalability, resource sharing, and automation.
Scalability is achieved by increasing the number of connected servers
and storage devices as well as their interface and processing speeds.
Warehouse-size data centres can easily host ten thousands of servers with
their associated storage. Using multiple geographically dispersed data
centres provides redundancy and further scalability. Server and storage
virtualization improve the data centre utilization by resource sharing
between multiple tenants or applications. Open source or vendor-specificsoftware frameworks allow an automated control of compute and storage
resources. One of the most challenging issues when scaling data centre
resources is the attached network infrastructure – inside the data centre,
between multiple data centres and between the data centre and theuser. A programmatic network control, a flexible allocation of networking
functions, and appropriate switching and interface technologies are
crucial to facilitate a seamless capacity adaptation and a coordinatedorchestration of computing, storage and network resources. This
special symposium provides a forum for service & content providers,system integrators, equipment manufacturers, component suppliers

On the way to the Photonic Router
Kobi Hasharoni1, 1Compass EOS, Israel
The bandwidth capacity of telecom and datacom routers is essentially determined by
the interconnect bandwidth between chips on different linecards via the backplane.
Conventional electrical backplanes are reaching the limit of their ability to handle very
high data-rate traffic resulting in high power consumption and large router size andweight. We describe an alternative router design based on an optical chip to chipinterconnect in which a large parallel optical transceiver is assembled on a CMOS chipwith direct digital to photonic data conversion. This results in drastic reduction of thepower consumption and router size, weight and cost enabling significant scalability.

Optical Interconnections
L Paraschis1, 1CISCO, USA

A photonic integrated circuit (PIC) involves a collection of devices on asingle substrate that work together to create, guide, mold, or terminate
optical photons. Its distant cousin is a high-speed electrical analog (notdigital) circuit. PICs find their highest value when integrating many opticalcomponents. The technology is finally here to integrate hundreds of
optical components together with high yield.

We outline a smooth evolution path of optical networks to spatial
multiplexing by complementing deployed fiber infrastructure andexisting WDM components with new integrated technologies. We discussarchitectural consequences of spatial crosstalk and multiple-input
multiple-output (MIMO) signal processing.

We provide a comprehensible introduction to RSA-related problems inflexgrid networks. Starting from its formulation, we analyze network live
cycle and indicate different solving methods for the kind of problems thatarise at each network phase: from the initial network planning to network
re-optimization, going through network operation.

We review innovations in optical technology, system, and networkarchitectures that enable inter, and intra data-centers connectivity to costeffectively scale to the “cloud-era“ requirements for flatter networks, withmore flexible provisioning, and higher capacity scaling.

Ge lasers ideal light sources for WDM applications. There are two main
challenges for efficient electrically pumped Ge lasers, high n-type doping

concentration and low-loss coupling from Ge waveguides to Si waveguides.
The high n-type doping is necessary to overcome the indirect bandgapof Ge and reach gains comparable to other compound semiconductor
lasers. We will show that an in-situ delta doping process will yield active
Phosphorous concentrations of about 5 x 10^19 cm^-3. The first
demonstrated lasers were made from Ge waveguides and did not couple
light to Si waveguides, commonly used for on-chip photonic systems. Dueto the large refractive index difference between Ge (4.0) and Si (3.5) low
loss coupling from a Ge waveguide to a Si waveguide is challenging but
a requirement for efficient Ge lasers. We will discuss the different device
designs to provide low loss coupling for low threshold lasing.

J M Kahn1, Keang-Po Ho2; 1Stanford University, USA; 2Silicon Image, USA
The performance and complexity of mode-division-multiplexing systems
depend on the statistics of modal gains/losses and group delays. Under
strong mode coupling, these statistics may be derived from the eigenvalue
distributions of random matrices. Strong coupling optimizes performanceand minimizes complexity.

Recent Advances in Electrically Pumped Ge Lasers
J Michel1; 1Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA
Electrically pumped Ge lasers, integrated on a CMOS
platform, are promising candidates as integrated
lightsources for on-chip photonic systems. The wide
gain spectrum from 1520 nm to 1700 nm makes the
Ge lasers ideal light sources for WDM applications.
There are two main challenges for efficient electrically
pumped Ge lasers, high n-type doping concentrationand low-loss coupling from Ge waveguides to Si
waveguides. The high n-type doping is necessary to
overcome the indirect bandgap of Ge and reach gains
comparable to other compound semiconductor lasers.
We will show that an in-situ delta doping process will
yield active Phosphorous concentrations of about 5
x 10^19 cm^-3. The first demonstrated lasers weremade from Ge waveguides and did not couple light to
Si waveguides, commonly used for on-chip photonic
systems. Due to the large refractive index difference
between Ge (4.0) and Si (3.5) low loss coupling froma Ge waveguide to a Si waveguide is challenging but arequirement for efficient Ge lasers. We will discuss thedifferent device designs to provide low loss coupling forlow threshold lasing.

In this paper we evaluate PON protection switchingtimes using our FPGA-based hardware implementationof a Long-Reach PON protocol based on the XGPON
standard. We first compare reactivation times ofdifferent 1+1 protection scenario, and then we propose
hardware modifications to reduce PON protection
times.
P.6.19 • Propagation Impairments due to Raman Effecton the Coexistence of GPON, XG-PON, RF-video and
TWDM-PON
R Gaudino1, V Curri1, S Capriata2; 1Politecnico di
Torino, Italy; 2Telecom Italia, Italy
We analyze propagation effects in the coexistenceof GPON, XG-PON, RF-Video and TWDM-PON. We
show that high power TWDM-PON channels excite
Stimulated Raman Scattering inducing extra-loss
on GPON due to power depletion. We address the
problem through simulations and propose and validatea simple analytical model for the effect.

Bringing radio access points closer to the end-users
improves radio energy efficiency. However, taking
into account both the radio and the optical parts of afibre-wireless access system, the overall system energy
efficiency has an upper bound determined by the
relation between the energy consumption of the opticaland wireless parts.

A simplified control system is described which uses
only three point calibration to maintain the wavelengthof the ITU channels of an uncooled DS-DBR laser,
spaced at 50GHz, over the full C-band. Wavelength iscontrolled mode-hop free over a temperature range of
15oC to 40oC.
