Academic Spotlight: Professor Willner
Tue, Nov 01, 2011 @ 06:00 PM - 07:00 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Student Organizations
Student Activity
What: Academic Spotlight Series talk by Professor Willner
Where: SLH 102
Date: 11/1, 6pm
Join us for one of our Academic Spotlight Series talks with Professor Willner.
The topic of this talk is: "Optical Communication Systems: Innovations (and Their Needs) Abound"
ABSTRACT: The optical communications revolution continues, as the 10-year-horizon capacity needs are expected to grow by 2-3 orders-of-magnitude and the "Terabit/s Ethernet" might be reached. Importantly, optics might be a powerful enabler for additional transformative functions, including:
(a) stable and reconfigurable networking,
(b) high-speed signal processing, and
(c) low-power interconnections.
It is quite possible that optics will follow trends of the RF world, such that robustness, spectral-efficiency and functionality will increase dramatically. Some challenges in achieving this vision include:
(i) high-bandwidth and tunable technologies,
(ii) linear and nonlinear elements, and
(iii) maintenance of signal integrity.
More information on Dr. Willner can be found at http://csi.usc.edu/faculty/willner.html.
There will of course be free food!Location: John Stauffer Science Lecture Hall (SLH) - 102
