We believe you will find ECOC 2017 an exhilarating and concentrated mixture of technological and social connectivity. The
conference, the exhibition, the venue, and the city itself are all practically on top of each other, giving you the best possible
opportunity to connect with science, colleagues, customers, companies, and products from the entire globe.
The city of Gothenburg is the second largest city in Sweden, an old 17th century seaport with a fortified and moated oldtown. Dutch and British merchants were prominent in its early days, and the city was originally laid out with canals insteadof streets to assist the transport mode of those days - ships - long before optical fibre. Today, the old fortifications andcanals are mixed with a modern and charming maritime city with everything within walking distance from the conference
venue. The Gothenburgers are known for their friendly and open attitude, and English is spoken everywhere.
ECOC 2017 is a Nordic conference; Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland all co-operate for the event. The Nordic
countries are well known for their leading industries and communication technologies and we hope you will take theopportunity to extend and improve your business in all of Scandinavia. We will behappy to assist you with business contacts for all countries.
This year, we are aiming at the first Environmental Certification of an ECOC Conference. Both the city and the venue are top-ranked in sustainability, and we havebeen working through all conference processes against the standard “Svensk
Miljöbas”. The biggest challenge, however, is not the eco-cookies for the coffee,
but the approximately 1 500 tonnes of carbon that a typical ECOC emits in termsof air-travel. Despite all our efforts on Optical Communication... We have therefore introduced the “Green Platinum Sponsor” level that specifically supports theCO2-compensation for the air travel. We hope this, quite necessary, arrangement
will continue and become the premier sponsoring item.

The Social Programme is as full as usual, the get-together after the workshops,
an evening at the science center across the street from the conference, a concert,and a conference dinner down in the old harbour sheds. Also, the town is only a
few minutes by foot or tram away, so do take a break and enjoy the old town.
On the technical side, the developments in coherent systems and advanced modulation are fascinating. ”Light” today isjust another carrier, and we treat it like radio technology, but at 193 THz. Amazing. With systems pretty much up at the
Shannon limit and good old Ethernet at 400 Gb/s, it seems that Fibre-To-The-Home has, shall we say, sufficient capacity
for the moment? Probably, quite a few of us have 10Gb/s Ethernet at home, but with low utilization… Instead, Datacenters
have emerged as the bandwidth-guzzler, but with different topology, distances and challenges than access networks. But
the power, size and cost-focus is even stronger. This new direction is evident in the creation of a new Subcommittee at
ECOC this year - ”Datacom and Computercom Hardware”. And Sunday’s are not free anymore, as you may have noticed.
The ECOC workshop series is transforming into a full-day, six-parallell-session event and a dynamic discussion platform
for the very latest issues - don’t miss it.
In all, ECOC is at the leading tech - and social - edge as usual, and we hope you take the opportunity to enjoy both thetechnical and social scene here in Gothenburg.
Once again, warmly welcome,PER O. ANDERSSON,

3rd session(14:00-15:30) 5G transport systems.

Location:
Room F1

Moderator: Patryk Urban, Ericsson, Sweden

Common abstract:
The 5G network evolution drives distinct technologies and applications forward, not only themobile broadband services, but also vertical industries across boundaries. Massive capacity,massive connectivity and diverse deployment scenarios bring the big challenges to 5G. This
workshop is set to give specific insight on the key requirements and applications of 5G in thetelecom and datacom networks. Specifically, we will consider: a) Global 5G vision and road map,
5G key applications and technology evolutions; b) the technology integration from the radio accessand optical access networks, to the last meter connection where we will discuss recent 5G fieldtrial achievements; c) the transformation of the radio access networks (RAN) and, consequently,
the underlying transport network; d) future technologies that can enable the post 5G era

8Workshop structureWith the advent of 5G new capacity trends are imposed on both the telecommunication and data
communication networks. Many of the services that the 5G network delivers to user premises
have stringent requirements: non-limiting access to data (5nine availability), Nx10Gbit/s (N = 1 –500) data rates, latencies of < 1ms for tactile Internet and a factor of 10 increase in battery life
time for small devices. These requirements impose a transformation of the radio access networks(RAN) and, consequently, imposes a rethinking of the underlying transport network. Opticaltechnologies with their conventional benefits of high bandwidth, protocol transparency, scalability,
low latency, high resiliency and network re-configurability, are today perceived as a promising key
piece of the radio access network puzzle, in both front haul and back haul transport areas. But
previous and current generation of optical networking technologies (e.g. SDH/SONET, WDM, OTN,
as well as analog Radio over Fiber (a-RoF). etc.) need to be reconsidered to match the needs of theemerging RAN transport segments. Re- configurability features, provided by WDM technologies,
can further increase fronthaul transport efficiency.

Abstract:

There are leading-edge breakthroughs of technologies which have been demonstrated by
5G prototypes and field trial recently. From the technical perspectives, much work has been
progressed on the 5G vision, although we are not there yet to candidate the technologies which
can fully flesh out for the standard and clarify consensus. One of the main points is the technology
integration from the radio access and optical access networks to the last meter connection. In thissession we present the recent 5G field trial achievements, and address a holistic approach on the
5G theme from optical access point of view.

Data centre traffic is surging with sustained annual growth rates as high as 25% expectedby 2020. Deployment of photonic technologies for rack-to-rack communication is leading tofaster and greener system implementations. From the network perspective, new, flatter networkarchitectures, along with optical switching, are being advocated in order to boost efficiency.
Moreover, as silicon photonics has made its way into data centers with the PSM4 parallel 4 X
25Gbps as a cost effective solution below 500m, WDM is considered as a possible solution tomeet near future datacenter requirements in terms of performance, cost and power consumption.
TEC-free transceiver solutions are key for these applications that require 70°C and even higher
operating temperatures but further developments on Silicon Photonics or III-V technology are
required.
Furthermore, to date switching has been performed by electronic switches but with the everincreasing data capacity, the back planes of the electronic switches seem to impose limitations
on data transfer speed, interconnect density and power requirement. Combined with electronic
switches, optical switching may be able to handle large traffic of coarse granularity with highspeed, large capacity, low latency and low power consumption.
Finally, to effectively apply these technologies and network concepts, an SDN control andorchestration framework is necessary inside and across data centres. From a system perspective,
optical interconnects are bound by stringent cost ($/Gb/s) and energy targets (mW/Gb/s) that add
up to -and dominate- technological feasibility aspects. Scaling systems with conventional NRZ
modulation cannot meet the overall requirement matrix, spurring research into new topics such as
high-order modulation formats, channel equalization, forward-error correction and multiplexing.
This workshop will highlight the latest achievements in datacenter network architectures,switching technologies for datacenters, optical interconnection systems, and modules for intra andinter datacenter connectivity. The workshop is divided into four complementary sessions:

WORKSHOP WS6   

Network operators are facing an expanding list of difficult choices in upgrading their Gigabit-era
PONs. The first choice is whether to bypass the 10 Gbit/s PONs and go directly to something
more future proof, but relatively immature, such as NG-PON2. Even considering the 10 Gbit/s
PON flavours, there are different opinions concerning symmetric or asymmetric line rates. The
target applications will determine the technical direction, along with the appropriate costs. Intense
debates about the potential technology choices have been taking place in the IEEE802.3ca and
ITU-T Q2/SG15 standards groups.

Speaker Panel – Q&A
End (13:00)

In the past, IEEE and ITU-T have moved in step and broadly matched each other in system release
dates and physical layer specifications. This enabled shared volumes of common components.
However, the two bodies are defining two very different systems with 100G-EPON and NG-PON2.
IEEE aims for 100 Gbit/s PON capacity by 2025 and ITU T already has an 80 Gbit/s capacity optionin NG-PON2. ITU-T opted for the flexibility and operational simplicity of wavelength tunable ONUs
at 10Gbit/s, while IEEE is moving towards 25, 50, and 100 Gbit/s line rates with fixed wavelengths
and bonded channels.
With IEEE and ITU-T adopting different approaches to PON evolution beyond 10G-EPON and XG(S)PON respectively, this workshop will debate the various pros and cons from a service provider,system integrator and component vendor perspective. The workshop seeks to understand why thedifferent approaches have been followed and what the respective trade-offs are.

What are the advantages of tunability with higher aggregate capacity?

Session 4. Intra- and inter- data center transmission systems: Choices andchallenges

Why did IEEE think that bonded 25Gbit/s channels were more attractive?

Is there a prospect for convergence in PON standards?

Is having these two different systems good for the entire industry given previous IEEE/ITU-Talignment at the physical layer?

What is the long term technology direction that PON should follow?
Are there any potential roadblocks and what are the necessary breakthroughs?
This workshop includes expert speakers from network operators deploying PON technology,
system vendors with experience of IEEE and/or ITU-T PON, component vendors and academic
researchers providing a longer term technology perspective. A lively and thought provoking
workshop is anticipated and audience participation will be strongly encouraged.

Abstract:
Constellation shaping has in recent years gathered popularity as a tool for extending the reachof coherent optical communication systems. Particularly, probabilistic shaping has been shown
to be beneficial for systems, operating at high-order QAM (beyond 16QAM). Current practicalconstellation shaping methods allow for 10-20% data rate/reach increase mostly due to theirtolerance to the white Gaussian noise originating from amplification. However, such constellations
are generally intolerant to nonlinear noise and are thus limited to operating in the weakly nonlinear
region.
Constellation constructions which are tolerant to nonlinearities, and at the same time provide highspectral efficiency and can be implemented with reasonable complexity in order to support very
high-speed optical communications are as of yet unavailable.
This workshop aims at providing a forum for discussion between leading scientists in thefield, with a focus on constellation shaping for the nonlinear region of transmission. We will
review currently popular constellation shaping methods and discuss different aspects of theirimplementation, scalability, integrability with existing systems, and potential gains that they
provide. Important aspect of the discussion will be whether these schemes and their gains can beextended into the nonlinear region, or completely new solutions are required in order to drastically(10:50-11:10)

Abstract:
The fate of the commercial deployment of space-division multiplexing (SDM) fibers depends
primarily on the cost per transported bit of information for the anticipated data traffic demand in
future optical networks and the transmission performance of SDM fibers relative to single-mode
fibers. The most important elements impacting the introduction of SDM fibrs in optical networks
are: 1) the ratio of the average traffic demand to the nonlinear Shannon limit of single-mode
fibers, 2) the cost of SDM transponders, amplifiers and optical add-drop multiplexers and 3) thetransmission performance of commercially-deployable SDM fibers.
Many different flavours of SDM fibers are considered for future backbone optical networks. One
can classify SDM fibers in three broad types: 1) multimode-based fibers, including few-mode
fibers, 2) multicore fibers that suppress linear crosstalk between cores, and 3) coupled-core
multicore fibers designed with strong linear coupling to reduce linear and nonlinear impairments.
An important practical difference between SDM fibers of types 2 and 3 is that type 2 fibers only
require real-time multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processing on each individual core while
type 3 requires processing of all cores/modes simultaneously. Currently, type 1 SDM fibers require
at a minimum processing of all modes belonging to the same mode groups, for each mode group.

A very important characteristic of SDM fibers that may determine which SDM fiber may emerge
in commercial systems to replace single-mode fibers are the nonlinear transmission performanceof these SDM fibers in the high-capacity regime relative to arrays of single-mode fibers. The
nonlinear performance of these fibers remains a very active area of research and the workshop
is intended to share the latest results, predictions, intuitions and convictions on “What is the best
SDM fiber?”
What is the Best Fiber for the Deployment of Space-Division Multiplexing Systems?

What is a “nonlinearity tolerant constellation”?
Geometric vs. probabilistic shaping—is joint optimisation beneficial/feasible, or is either sufficient
independently? What are the tradeoffs?
Are we limited to the weakly nonlinear regime, or are there benefits from operating in the
nonlinear regime?
Shaping for SDM systems—are there gains, and are they worth the effort?
Shaping for short-reach noncoherent communication—is that feasible?

Abstract:
The increasing number of mobile devices and advanced multimedia applications combined withthe worldwide adoption of social media has led to an exponential growth in mobile data traffic
at a global level. 5G and B5G wireless networks are envisaged to meet this extraordinary data
demand, where emerging applications and services such as Smart City, Smart Buildings, Factories
of Future, Intelligent Transportation Systems, Smart Grid and the Internet of Things will play asignificant role beyond voice and data services for users.

To address these challenges there are a number of options including (i) the spatial reuse of thefrequency spectrum in dense networks by adopting higher spectral efficiency modulation andcoding techniques; (ii) spectrum sharing, hoping and borrow; (iii) moving to higher RF bands (i.e.,beyond 300 GHz); and (iv) shifting to entirely to the optical spectrum bands. The Optical WirelessCommunications (OWC) technology (including Free Space Optical communications or Visible Light
Communications (VLC)) offers opportunities in three distinctive optical band of infrared, visible,
and ultraviolet that could be deployed in indoor and outdoor environment as well as underwater.
High speed signal transmission, operation in unregulated spectrum, robustness to electromagnetic
interference, spatial frequency reuse and inherent security, high energy efficiency (i.e., a green
technology) and reduced interference are some of the main advantages of OWC, which is
positioned as a powerful alternative and complementary technology to RF solutions both at

In broad terms, machine learning is a multidisciplinary research area where some of the maintasks are to infer plausible models to describe the observed data and use the inferred models to
make predictions. The core of the machine learning approaches is generalization: first the modelis learned from the measured data acquired under one set of system configurations, and then theinferred model is applied to perform predictions for a new set of system configurations. Machinelearning is especially useful for optimization and performance prediction for systems that exhibit
complex behaviors and where analytical model are hard to derive and numerical procedurestime consuming. Recently, machine learning methods have started to enter the field of photonics,
ranging from quantum mechanics, nanophotonics, optical communication and optical networks.
Moreover, a few optical implementations of some machine learning algorithms have also been
proposed recently.

The field of machine learning offers many powerful techniques, however, linking it to opticalcommunication and photonics in general may not be trivial. In particular, choosing the rightmachine learning algorithm strongly depends on the problem that needs to be solved. In thisworkshop, we will address how techniques from machine learning can be applied in the field of
optical communication and photonics, and which benefits machine learning methods can bringto optical communication. We will explore how machine learning can be used to design better
lasers, predict the performance of optical communication systems, perform nonlinearity mitigation,
optimize data centers and enable intelligent test & measurement equipment for next generationof optical networks. Moreover, we will look into how all-optical signal processing and integrated
photonics can benefit the field of machine learning and which novel research opportunities could
arise for all-optical solutions.

Congress HallA Decade of Software Defined Networking at Google
Abstract: Google’s global cloud infrastructure is built on three pillars: ubiquity,
disaggregation and high availability. To support these three pillars, we have been building
a network unparalleled in reach, scale and capability over the last decade. Early on, we
realized that the network we needed to support our services did not exist and could not bebought. Hence, over the past 10+ years, we set out to fill in the required pieces in-house.
Our fundamental design philosophy is that the network should be treated as a large-scale
distributed system and leverage the same control infrastructure we developed for Google’s
compute and storage systems. In the process, we made every network layer intelligent,fault-tolerant, highly reliable and programmatically manageable to allow for rapid evolution
and innovation. Software defined networking is the only way we build network infrastructure
at Google today.

Square Kilometre Array and how it will be Heavily Reliant on Optical Fibre
Systems
Abstract: The Square Kilometre Array, a next-generation radio telescope, will change theway humanity views the Universe. Building on 70 years of radio astronomy developments,
astronomers and engineers are designing what will be the largest scientific instrument on
the planet. The SKA, currently in the detailed design phase, will be built in Australia andSouth Africa by an international consortium, currently of 10 nations. The science to be done
by SKA encompasses almost the entire history of the Universe, from exploring the so-called
Cosmic Dawn, when the first stars and galaxies were formed, to understanding how planets
are formed in the present day. Along the way SKA will enable precise studies of the secrets ofgravity, dark energy, dark matter and the molecular building blocks of life.
I will discuss the current status of SKA, as the project prepares for the transition to
construction. I will describe in detail the critical role that optical fibre systems play inenabling the SKA, with its requirement to transmit data at Tbit/sec rates over hundreds andthousands of kilometres, to become a reality.
Professor Philip Diamond is the Director-General of the SKA (Square Kilometre Array). He
was appointed to this position in October 2012, and is responsible for the team designingand ultimately constructing the SKA, which, when completed, will be the largest scientificproject on Earth.
From 2010 – 2012 he was the Chief of CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science (CASS), which
operates the major radio astronomy facilities in Australia, namely Parkes, the Compact Array
and Mopra. CASS also operates the NASA Deep Space Network tracking station at Tidbinbilla,
near Canberra, and has built ASKAP, the Australian SKA Pathfinder, in the Murchison inWestern Australia.
Prof Diamond moved to Australia in June 2010, leaving his previous role as Director of
the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics, part of the School of Physics and Astronomy
at the University of Manchester in the UK. The University owns and operates the giant
Lovell Telescope and, on behalf of the UK’s Science and Technology Facilities Council, thee-MERLIN/VLBI National Facility. Prof. Diamond was responsible for the operation of bothfacilities.
Professor Diamond completed his PhD at the University of Manchester in 1982. He worked at
the Onsala Space Observatory in Sweden and the Max-Planck Institute for Radioastronomy
in Bonn, Germany before moving to the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in the
USA for 12 years. He held the position of Deputy Director of the NRAO’s VLA and VLBA before
moving back to the UK in 1999 upon being appointed as the Director of MERLIN.
Professor Diamond’s research interests include studies of star birth and death; exploring
both through the use of radio interferometers such as MERLIN. He is also interested in highresolution studies of supernovae, both in our own Galaxy and in others. Finally, he also
dabbles in studies of discs of molecular gas rotating around super-massive black-holes atthe centres of other galaxies. He has published ~300 research papers in astronomy.
Phil is married to Jill; they have a son who recently graduated with a degree in Biochemistry
and Genetics from the University of Leeds and a daughter who works as a project manager
for a company installing remote scanning devices in libraries, warehouses and factories. He
enjoys reading, supporting Manchester United and the England Rugby and Cricket teams,
watching his son play rugby and playing the (very) occasional game of squash.

Lab work is most efficient when data can be acquired in an
automated way. Especially when taking measurements over long
durations automated acquisition avoids introducing human error andallows researchers to concentrate on the fun part of experimental
work. Open source software in easy to learn languages such as
Python provides just as much, or more features/interoperability
for lab automation than alternative commercial software. In thishackathon several researchers with 10+ years experience of lab
automation will show you the power of using Python to quickly get alab experiment running and display the measurements in a browser.
We will learn from companies that work in photonics how they takeadvantage of Python to create easy interfaces to their software andhardware.

We propose a novel transmitter with a microring modulator
providing seed light to injection-lock a laser at ring resonance.
As resonance tuning becomes negligible, power consumptionof 0.93 mW/Gbps including laser, lowest among all Si PICtransmitters, has been achieved.

We report a quantum-well laser diode monolithically integrated
on Ge substrate. The gain is provided by two GaInNAsSb/GaAs
quantum-wells with emission at 1200 nm-1300 nm. The diodeexhibits continuous-wave operation with mW-level output
power at room temperature.

We experimentally demonstrate that the irregular polar
codes outperform state-of- the-art LDPC codes, while thecomputational complexity in encoding and decoding can besignificantly reduced by at least 30% over the regular polar
codes with a marginal performance improvement.

We demonstrate 40Gbps digitized LTE-like signal delivery in
low-cost DML-based system. By interleaving sample bits, eyeskewing induced issue is addressed. EVM of wireless signal
after 20km transmission can be reduced by up to 11dB, keeping
comparable with BtB case.

We fabricate and experimentally demonstrate a compact
direct-detection-based Stokes vector (SV) receiver with on-chip
photodetector (PD). Compressively strained multiple-quantumwell PD array is monolithically integrated on InP-based passive
polarization-converting circuit to retrieve SV of input light fromthe photocurrent signals.

Smart routing tables aware of physical-layer parameters
are first realized for 4x4-port silicon photonic switch device,improving the worst-case power-penalty by 8.8dB and reducing
dynamic-range requirement on receivers by 7.8dB. An 8x8-port
switch is further simulated achieving 16.1dB power-penalty
improvement.

We propose a low latency transmission scheme for mobile

Design of High Order Mode-Multiplexers using
Multiplane Light Conversion

An optimized 32QAM with quasi-Gray bits mapping is designed
to improve GMI capacity over a nonlinear optical channel, and isexperimentally demonstrated to outperform 32QAM by ~0.5dB
SNR between 3 and 4 b/s GMI capacity.

We examine submarine cable capacity in the context of power
feed constraints. Higher capacity is achieved with low powers,
low SNR, and large spatial multiplicity. However, practical SNR
limits may suggest modest SDM requirements satisfied simply
by multiple fibres.

We design a spatial mode multiplexer using multi-plane light
conversion which can address all 45 modes of a 50-$\mu$m
graded index multi-mode fiber at 1550~nm with 14 phase planes.
The mode-dependent loss is below 2-dB across 100 nm.

Fast probabilistic shaping is proposed using the probabilistic
amplitude shaping (PAS) architecture to combine SC-LDPC
codes with Streaming Distribution Matching (sDM). The
parallelization factor of sDM is 100 times higher than forConstant Composition Distribution Matching (CCDM), at similar
performance.

For the first time, phase sensitive amplifier is demonstrated asa pre-amplifier in free-space optical communication. Record
sensitivity of 4.5 photons/bit (signal+idler+pump) at 10-3 BER
for 10GBd-QPSK data is achieved, and is 2.5 dB higher than an
EDFA pre-amplified receiver.

We demonstrate a highly scalable subsystem-modular OXC,
where a newly developed single-module 6x6 WSS is utilized asa sub-OXC. Network simulations in dynamic-traffic scenarios
assure its good applicability. Its technical feasibility is confirmedby transmission experiments using 32-Gbaud DP-QPSK
signals.

Challenges in Silicon Photonics Process Technology

We demonstrate a 42dB loss budget, enabling 40km
transmission in O-band and 1:64 splits, with 25Gb/s PAM-4 and
EDB modulation using 10G-Class DML and Raman amplification
provided by quantum dot based laser diode pumps.

In this paper we discuss the specific challenges of processintegration of Si-Photonics for the current and futureapplications, including lithography, etching and heterogeneousmaterials integration.

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a low-loss
and low-crosstalk Mach-Zehnder mode/wavelength multi/
demultiplexer for WDM/MDM transmission. A broadband
3dB mode divider, which is also newly devised here, makes
it possible to compose Mach-Zehnder filter for “mode” and“wavelength” simultaneously.

Generation of Time-Limited Signals in the Nonlinear
Fourier Domain via b-Modulation
Sander Wahls, TU Delft, Delft, Netherlands

Current modulation techniques for the nonlinear Fourier
spectrum do not offer explicit control over the pulse durationin the time domain. To address this issue, it is proposed
to modulate the b-coefficient instead of the reflection
coefficient.

The behavior of splices in a 3-mode 36-core fiber is analyzed
using optical vector network analysis. Time-domain response
analysis confirms splices may cause significant mode-mixing,
while frequency-domain analysis shows splices may affectsystem level mode-dependent loss both positively andnegatively.

Amplifiers, spatial multiplexers, and routing elements that
exploit spatial integration will reduce costs and complexityof future space-division multiplexed transmission systems.
Managing spatial modes requires new components
such as mode multiplexers, mixers, equalizers, andunscramblers.

We show that optimizing pre- and post-dispersion
compensation can increase the section of low fourth-ordermodulation factor in the transmission link. In experiments, wedemonstrate reach increase for 32 Gbaud PM-16QAM by using
25% to 50% pre-compensation of the dispersion.

In addition, 1.6-Tb/s transmissions using 56-Gbaud PAM4 LANand C-WDM signals across O and C/L-band over 2-km 125-umcladding 4-core MCF is achieved.

Using photonic integrated circuits, we propose a full-duplex
optical-wireless system backed up by a simple 60GHz-radio
system to realize highly reconfigurable and reliable wirelesslinks equipped with localization and tracking functionalities
which provide transmission rates of 50Gb/s per user.

Single channel digital back-propagation (SC-DBP) performancewith different transmission bandwidths is experimentally andtheoretically investigated. The SC-DBP gain reduces withtransmission bandwidth; from 1.2 b/sym for single channel to
0.2 b/sym for C-band transmission at 2000 km,

We investigate the use of high-order MIMO to compensate intercore crosstalk penalty over long-distance transmission using
homogeneous single-mode multicore fibers. We show that the
MIMO improves reach by 8% but may require excessive DSP
resources and inter-core skew compensation.

Open Cable design enables the most efficient modulation. We
transport 8QAM over 10,940 km. Also, we achieved a record
4 b/s/Hz for Trans-Pacific production system. Using G-OSNR,
we estimate the potential capacity of FASTER cable with
Probabilistic Constellation Shaping solutions.

We derive in an integral form the BER for QPSK constellations
corrupted by elliptic AWGN and discuss its properties
compared to circular AWGN. Then we confront our theory withtransmission experiments in configurations with elliptic noisecaused by strong nonlinearity

Highly ranked paper
Geometrically Shaped 16QAM Outperforming
Probabilistically Shaped 16QAM
Zhen Qu; Ivan Djordjevic, University of Arizona, Tucson, USA

We compare the proposed geometrically-shaped(GS) 16QAM
with the probabilisticallyshaped(PS) 16QAM formats in both
numerical simulation and experimental setup. The results showthat GS-16QAM outperforms PS-16QAM.

Reach Extension with Lattice Precoding for Optical
PAM Transmission in Data Center Networks
Toshiaki Koike-Akino; David S. Millar; Kieran Parsons; Keisuke Kojima, MERL,
Cambridge, USA

We apply an improved version of THP, called lattice precoding(LP), to IM/DD short-reach optical fiber communications for data
center network (DCN). We show that LP offers 6dB gain and
21% reach extension over conventional methods.

We demonstrate that a cladding pumped 19-core EDFA has
2.5-dB higher pump power efficiency than a cladding pumped
7-core EDFA. The 19-core EDFA with pump power of 22.8 W hasgain of 12.7 dB and output power of 22.2 dBm.

Instead of buying gifts for delegates and speakers, ECOC
2017 has bought 340 solar-powered lamps for a total sumof 100 000 SEK through the Swedish organization Barnfonden. The solar-powered lamps will be delivered to and usedby children and families in remote areas in India, where life
without light is a daily reality. In these areas many are forced
to use dangerous kerosene lamps or fires. Darkness makes
even the simplest activities difficult, even dangerous.

Barnfonden is a Swedish organisation that enables
vulnerable children in Africa, Asia, and Latin America to go to school, get access to health care andbe protected from violence and exploitation. We
give families the opportunity to support themselves
and, together with the children, we create sustainable development in the community.

The solar-powered lamps allow children to read, do homework or other activities after the sun goes down. They also
allow children to stay safe every night, when walking homefrom school or friends.
