Optical fiber carries the bulk of the world’s data traffic through long, thin strands of glass. Despite their importance, the capacity of fiber-optic channels is unknown, mainly because the underlying physical model described by the generalized nonlinear Schrodinger equation (GNLSE) cannot be easily translated in convincing channel models. The 6th Van der Meulen Seminar focuses on new directions in studying capacity and on developing coding techniques for optical fiber communications.
Organizers: Alex Alvarado (University College London, Eindhoven University of Technology) and Frans Willems (Eindhoven University of Technology).
