WSM: The Technology Landscape of the Wireline and Wireless Optical Communication

Presentation Abstract
According to Global Market Insights Inc., the optical communication and networking market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6% from 2024 to 2031, reaching $61.92 billion by 2031. The significant revenue comes from emerging technologies such as IoT (Internet of Things), machine-to-machine networks, AI, cloud-based services, and web-based applications. Driven by this demand, many innovations are underway to enhance optical communication systems. In this full-day workshop, we will learn about the latest advancements in the field of wireless and wireline optical networks. The morning session of this workshop covers four talks on OWC (Optical Wireless Communication) and applications for Free Space Optics. The afternoon session focuses on wireline optical communication systems, with some talks elaborating on the circuit design techniques for high-speed transceivers.
