Optics and Photonics Innovations Workshop
Tuesday, 3 June 2025, 14:00 – 17:30, room 1.B
Organisers:
- John Cosmas (Brunel Univ. London, UK)
Motivation and Background
This workshop presents Optics and Photonic Innovations for the next-generation information and communications infrastructure that is being developed in Europe which features high capacity, low latency, and low power consumption with highly energy-efficient Optics and Photonics.
Since Communication Research labs all over the world are now engaged in research and development of Optics and Photonics with the aim of realizing Integrated Optical Wireless Communications Network by the year 2030, the timeliness of this workshop is of great significance, since it is an effective way of bringing together research groups across Europe to disseminate their research amongst themselves in order to create research collaborations between institutions for future potential research projects.
The workshop consists of topics on:
- Autonomous Photonic network management
- Scalable photonics
- Optical IoT Wireless Printed Electronics
- Localisation Synchronisation in Photonics
- Confluent Edge Networks
- Photonics Ranging
- Reconfigurable Optical Transport
- Localisation and Cellfree Optical
