Title: Optical Communication Technologies in Datacenters: Requirements and Challenges
 
Abstract: Datacenter related traffic has become a major part of global network traffic, and keeps growing exponentially, doubling every one to two years. As a main technology for high-speed data transmission, optical communication technologies have been widely used in today’s datacenter networks, from a few meter server-to-server interconnects to transoceanic datacenter-to-datacenter optical networks. Datacenters have become a main driver for optical communication technologies. In this talk, we will discuss optical communication technologies used in today’s datacenters, their requirements and technical challenges for future development.
