Sixth Van der Meulen Seminar
Sixth Van der Meulen Seminar: Optical Communications

You are cordially invited by the 鶹ýAV Benelux Information Theory Chapter to attend the

Sixth Van Der Meulen Seminar having as topic

“Information Theory and Fiber-Optic Communication”

with a lecture by Prof. Gerhard Kramer, Distinguished Lecturer of the 鶹ýAV Information Theory Society.

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 Schrödinger 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.

Date: Thursday, September 15, 2016

Time: 13.30 – 18.00

Location: Eindhoven University of Technology, Van Trier Zaal, Traverse.
