Since its creation, ECOC is the best venue in Europe for catching up with the leading-edge research in the field of optical communication and all related topics. If you have to know about the latest technological or scientific discoveries, ECOC is definitely the place to be!

We didnt compromise for this 40th edition of ECOC, which is back again in Cannes, both an international crossroads and a French glamorous seaside resort. The theme, the Latest Advances in Optical Communication Technologies, features this year a new content distribution in seven main areas, each supervised by a dedicated subcommittee of world renown experts, as you will see in the Technical Program Committee description, in order to better reflect rapidly evolving technical trends.

Leading-edge researchers will report their work through a carefully selected blend of tutorial, invited and regular papers - about 400 oral and poster presentations. Among hot topics, to name a few, you will hear about spatial division multiplexing and transmission technologies, mature InP based modulators and Silicon Photonic integrated circuits, signal processing (including all optical techniques for DSP post processing coherent receiver simplification) and novel synchronization schemes for ever increasing modulation formats cardinality. Regarding switching and high capacity transmission, you will notice a new momentum for research on large port count optical packet switches, and numerous contributions on non-linear distortions and their mitigations

through DSP. You will also learn how the aspiration for networks function virtualization (NFV) could reshape the transport network, and you will discover the value of bandwidth-variable transceivers for flexible grooming and bandwidth optimization. Optical Access and In-Door technologies will also be under the spotlights, notably through the everywhere penetrating high modulation formats techniques, and a come back of free-space optics for interconnects in data centers.

In addition to the ECOC program, a special CLEO Focus Meeting will present, as every year since 2006, a selection of papers highlighting some of the fundamental aspects of Photonics for future telecommunication.

During the Plenary session, open to exhibitors, exciting and thought-provoking keynote, addresses will be delivered by top industry executives and academics. This session features talks by Tim Krause, Chief Marketing Officer at Alcatel-Lucent, USA; Mari-Nolle Jgo-Laveissire, Executive Vice President of Innovation, Marketing and Technologies of Orange Group, France; John Bowers, Director of the Institute for Energy Efficiency and Kavli Professor of Nanotechnology, University of California Santa Barbara, USA; and Rudy De Waele, Technology Innovation Strategist, Futurist, Keynote speaker and Author/ Curator of shift 2020, UK.

Notice that three Technical Symposia will put the light on some specific research and development results. One is

dedicated to submarine systems for telecommunication applications and beyond, another will address interconnects in data centers. The third symposium will review past, present, and future key developments, in a special event celebrating the 40th edition of ECOC.

Finally, the Post-deadline session on Thursday afternoon will give attendees the opportunity to hear new and significant research in rapidly advancing areas at the earliest possible stage.

In parallel to the conference, the ECOC exhibition covers a wide range of optical communications products and services and is expected to attract more than 300 exhibitors. Dont miss the show!

This conference wouldnt be the same without its outstanding social program: a Welcome reception located on a gorgeous outdoor terrace with a spectacular view of the Mediterranean sea, promising a warm climate and all the glamour of the French Riviera in September; and a Gala Dinner at the Park de Mougins, where you will be delighted to enjoy the fine cuisine of the prestigious French caterer Lentre.

We look forward to extending a warm welcome to you in Cannes for this 40th edition! And also, dont forget to give the wireless network a hard time by tweeting, #ECOC2014 and giving us feedback (@ECOC_2014) all along!

Foreword from the Technical Programme Commitee Chairs We would like to address our warmest thanks to the workshop organizers, to the symposium organizers but also to whole Technical Program Committee (TPC), who have done a wonderful job ensuring that ECOC remains a reference event.

The field of optical communication has been transforming very fast for four decades. Recent years have not been different and we chose to adapt the count and the perimeters of the subcommittees to reflect the importance of some emerging topics like digital signal processing and data center networks.

At ECOC2014, there will be more subcommittees than conference rooms. Delegates focusing on a given topic may need to move from one room to the next. We organized sessions so as to guarantee the largest diversity of topics at every moment of the conference.

We are delighted to announce the launch of a new partnership with Journal of Lightwave Technology for a special Issue on ECOC 2014 to be published early 2015. The Technical Programme Committee has shortlisted the authors of the 10% best scored papers from each subcommittee (referred to as highly scored in the programme listings), the authors of all post deadline papers, the invited speakers and the tutorial speakers, and asked all of them to submit an extended version of their work as invited paper into the special issue of Journal of Lightwave Technology. By summarizing the highlights of ECOC 2014, we believe that this special issue will become a new reference issue for the optical communication community.

Liaise with your peers, build the future and enjoy the 40th edition of ECOC!

Scope:Silicon photonics is clearly becoming an enabling technology for the realization of integrated optical transceivers for optical interconnect applications. The key component that is difficult to realize in this technology however is the laser source. Today there are several approaches for the laser source for silicon photonics:

External laser source: classical III-V laser source is used and the emitted power is distributed to the silicon chip via an optical fiber. The III-V Laser can be flip chipped into the silicon chip.

Germanium epitaxially grown on silicon substrate: first electrically pumped Germanium on Si lasers have been demonstrated using highly strained and heavily doped Ge materials.

III-V on Si hetero-epitaxy: again first III-V on silicon lasers have been demonstrated using Sb-based buffer.

Bonding of III-V dies/wafers: Dies or full epitaxially grown III-V wafers are bonded to a processed Si wafer, and collectively processed.

This Workshop intends to give an update on the state of the art on each approach, and to debate on the application fields of each approach. It is organized in the framework of the EU project SEQUOIA Energy efficient Silicon Emitter using heterogeneous integration of III-V QUantum dOt and quantum dash materials.

Scope:The face of optical communications has changed drastically over the last few years. This is due to important breakthroughs that have been achieved both in optical, but also, and perhaps even more crucially, in electronic technologies. Optical technologies and optical domain processing subsystems mature continually and address ever more sophisticated problems. However, with the widespread adoption of digital signal processing (DSP), electronic components have played an ever increasing role in optical networks. Today the vast majority of signal processing in communication systems takes place after the optical signal has been detected. Even functionalities, such as chromatic dispersion compensation, which have traditionally been considered to be better tackled in the optical domain, are now left to the realm of electronic processing.

This workshop aims to assess the state-of-the-art in the processing of optical signals using either optical and/or digital techniques. It will discuss the extent to which signal processing is beneficially performed based purely on DSP and will explore those application areas where optical domain processing can play an important role. Ultimately, the workshop will try to identify those areas where optical domain processing could either co-exist with, or augment, DSP based systems.

Some of the topics that will be discussed include:Is the processing of advanced modulation formats better left to DSP? Techniques for simultaneous multi-wavelength processing of optical signals. Optical signal processing techniques that are insensitive to the state-of-polarisation and/or chromatic dispersion. Optical vs electronic vs hybrid filtering and pulse shaping. What is the impact on end-to-end energy consumption of hybrid versus purely DSP based? What is the optimum balance between MIMO processing and optical techniques for mitigating modal cross-talk in spatial division multiplexed systems? Could photonic digital-to-analogue and analogue-to-digital conversion become an enabling technology for future DSP based systems?Speakers include: (order will vary according to the ensuing discussion).

Scope:Numerical simulations as well as experiments play a vital role in proving the transmission concepts and related technologies. Thus the test protocols and methods have to be up to the task and be carefully designed to avoid misleading or too optimistic results.

The essential question that needs to be addressed: are the numerical simulation protocols and the experimental techniques adequate to emulate what will happen in real life (real environment)? The goal of this workshop is too examine the existing test protocols and methods in the areas of WDM simulations, laboratory and field transmission experiments, system and sub-system characterization. Numerical simulations and experiments using novel techniques that include complex modulation formats, soft decision forward error correction, real time and off-line DSP, space division multiplexing will be reviewed. The simulation/experimental specifics like for example pattern sizes, or questions like what represents the proper performance metric, Q factor or mutual information all fall in the scope of the discussion on the test protocols

Scope:Emerging high speed data centre applications require dynamic, programmable and application aware networking. SDN (Software Defined Networking), which involves separation of transport and its control plane and use of standardized protocol between them, has potential to meet such requirements. SDN with Optical transport enables automation of overall data centre and cloud networking.

This workshop brings together leading experts from industry and user community to share their views on SDN technology and deployment to meet growing data applications and advantages of open network architecture.

What will be typical use cases and network interfaces and protocols that industry needs to define?

What are the technologies foreseen as key for Optical/Transport-SDN concept and architectures?

How will the optical physical layer parameters be incorporated in overall SDN design?

How SDN facilitates implementation NFV and what is the industry status?

Finally, this workshop will also focus on results of various SDN related industry trials, pilots and demonstrators.

Scope:Next-generation optical access (NGOA) solutions are mandatory to keep pace with the steady traffic growth in residential, business and backhaul markets. The pervasiveness of high-quality multi-media applications paired with a shift from broadcast to unicast services calls for future-proof solutions which are scalable to per-user data rates in the (multi) gigabit region for residential users. At the same time backhauling and business applications require even higher data rates of 10 Gb/s and beyond. A single platform for residential, business and backhaul applications, the consolidation of local exchange offices, and the minimization of active field equipment are further NGOA drivers. They result not only in simplified network planning and more integration but also in reduced energy costs.

Due to the high transmission capacity offered by optical fiber (especially as PON standards evolve towards multi-wavelength solutions) PONs can provide high speed access at lower cost compared to bespoke point-to-point architectures, making it a potentially attractive solution also for high-end business applications (e.g. mobile back-haul, logical high-capacity links for small SPs, or any institution that used to be served by point-to-point leased lines). However, designing a PON access architecture that is able to satisfy the heterogeneous requirements of different services and applications, while maintaining low cost and energy consumption, is a challenging problem.

The aim of this workshop is bringing together speakers from system vendors, carriers and academia to create an open discussion. Latest results from research projects will be presented as well as current standardization efforts.

A tentative list of topics and contributors is given below. This list may be later updated on the web site until the workshop actually takes place.
