QSNP member Mariana Ferreira presents at OFC Conference
5 April 2024
Mariana Ramos Ferreira shared her latest breakthrough at the OFC Conference in San Diego – unveiling the potential of a Datacom-agnostic shortwave QKD for Short-reach links. Her team’s research showcases the robustness of shortwave QKD in short-reach links, even under 100Gb/s coexistence with classical C-Band channels.
OFC stands as the largest global conference and exhibition for optical communications and networking professionals. The program itself is comprehensive, spanning from research to marketplace, from components to systems and networks, and from technical sessions to the exhibition floor. Furthermore, for over 40 years, OFC has attracted attendees from all corners of the globe, providing a platform to meet and greet, teach and learn, make connections, and ultimately move the industry forward.
In particular, the 2024 Optical Fiber Communications Conference and Exhibition (OFC) surpassed all expectations, drawing a remarkable 12,500 attendees from 74 countries. Moreover, it featured over 630 exhibiting companies (a substantial 23% increase from 2023) and hosted a multitude of sessions with industry leaders and invited speakers. As a result, OFC 2024 has firmly established itself as the premier event for industry experts worldwide. It not only served as a pinnacle for innovation and collaboration in the field but also reinforced its status as the global hub for optical fiber communications
