SUMMARY:HIGH-CAPACITY OPTICAL FIBER TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS TO HIGH-SENSITIVIT
 Y\nQUANTUM DETECTION
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:IQC COLLOQUIUM/IEEE-SSCS DISTINGUISHED LECTURE - RENÉ-JEAN ESS
 IAMBRE\,\nNOKIA/BELL LABS\n\nUniversity of Waterloo\, 200 University Ave W
 . Waterloo\, QNC 0101\n\nThe first part of this presentation will provide 
 a brief overview of\noptical technologies that enabled high-capacity fiber
 -optic\ncommunication systems\, from single-mode fibers to fibers supporti
 ng\nmultiple spatial modes. A perspective on the evolution of\nhigh-capaci
 ty systems will be discussed. The second part of the talk\nwill focus on p
 ower-e ciency optical detection systems. More\nspecifically\, we will de
 scribe an experimental demonstration of a\nsystem operating at 12.5 bits/p
 hoton with optical clock transmission\nand recovery on free-running transm
 itters and receivers.\n\nAbout René-Jean Essiambre Dr. Essiambre worked i
 n the areas of fiber\nlasers\, nonlinear fiber optics\, advanced modulatio
 n formats\,\nspace-division multiplexing\, information theory\, and\nhigh-
 photon-e ciency systems. He participated in the design of\ncommercial fi
 ber-optic communication systems where several of his\ninventions were impl
 emented. He has given over 150 invited talks and\nhelped prepare and deliv
 ered the 2018 Physics Nobel Prize Lecture on\nbehalf of Arthur Ashkin. He 
 served on or chaired many conference\ncommittees\, including OFC\, ECOC\, 
 CLEO\, and IPC. He received the 2005\nEngineering Excellence Award from OP
 TICA and is a fellow of the IEEE\,\nOPTICA\, IAS-TUM\, and Bell Labs. He w
 as President of the IEEE Photonics\nSociety (2022-2023) and is currently t
 he Past-President (2024-2025).
