The demand for faster communication networks with more capacity, and the need to develop effective systems to manage the growing traffic on these networks, will be topics at OFC/NFOEC, the premier optical communications industry event. Short courses, workshops and discussions, technical and poster sessions and analyses by leaders in the field on what's in store for networks and telecoms, and a two-day exhibition of more than 500 companies' products, are on the agenda.

The ever-increasing demand for faster communication networks with more capacity, and the need to develop effective systems to manage the growing traffic on these networks, will be major topics of discussion at the Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exposition and the National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference (OFC/NFOEC) Feb. 24-28 at the San Diego Convention Center.
Getting the most out of limited wireless bandwidth, ratcheting up data rates, new routes on the information superhighway, and a new view of the electromagnetic spectrum are some of the topics that will be covered in research presentations during the technical conference at OFC/NFOEC (the Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exposition/National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference), Feb. 24-28 at the San Diego Convention Center.
Demonstrations of breakthrough technologies and products by companies such as Lightwire, Finistar, Corning, and JDSU are attracting visitors to the exposition at OFC/NFOEC 2008 in the San Diego Convention Center.
Bookham Inc. announced it has developed and demonstrated an ultrasmall, 5-mm 40Gb/s optical differential quadrature phase-shift-keying modulator chip, implemented through proprietary indium phosphide Mach-Zehnder (InP MZ) technology for use in the 40Gb/s market.
