Scope and Motivation

Recently, after the unmatched popularity achieved during the dot-com bubble era, optics is gaining back attention. In particular, the development of new bandwidth and QoS-greedy applications (e.g., IPTV, peer-to-peer communications) and the ubiquitous high-speed access offered by wireless technologies (e.g., WiMAX and LTE) are fostering the deployment of optical access technologies for both direct user access or as a backhaul for wireless access networks. The increase of traffic injected by hybrid wired and wireless access and metro networks is then foreseen to foster the further development of all-optical core networks. In addition optical systems are being applied to sensing and life science (e.g., biophotonics) besides the traditional communications field. Moreover optical networks are considered for supporting interprocess communications, from optical network support for grid computing to chip-to-chip and board-to-board communications. Furthermore even in optical networks and systems interests are growing toward energy efficient "green" solutions. Finally new modulation formats are being studied and tested.
The Optical Network and System Symposium aims at bringing together experts working in several of the aforementioned fields. Among the main topics addressed by the symposium will be optical network data, control, and management plane, all-optical network physical impairments, novel optical modulation techniques, and energy efficiency in optical networks.
