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 is the largest global conference and exhibition for optical communications and networking professionals. The program is comprehensive — from research to marketplace, from components to systems and networks and from technical sessions to the exhibition. For over 40 years, OFC has drawn attendees from all corners of the globe to meet and greet, teach and learn, make connections and move the industry forward.
The 2024 Optical Fiber Communications Conference and Exhibition (OFC) exceeded all expectations, drawing 12,500 attendees from 74 countries. Featuring over 630 exhibiting companies (a 23% increase from 2023) and hosting numerous sessions with industry leaders and invited speakers, OFC 2024 has emerged as the premier event for industry experts worldwide. It served as a pinnacle for innovation and collaboration in the field, reinforcing its status as the global hub for optical fiber communications.
