OpenWave Presentation at the 13th Annual ON*VECTOR Photonics Workshop on March 5-6, 2014<\/p>\n
Julio Ibarra, FIU, PI, Heidi Alvarez, FIU, Co-PI, Chip Cox, FIU, Co-PI and Louis Fox, CENIC, Co-PI presented an overview of the Amlight OpenWave: U.S.-Brazil 100G Experimental Alien Wave.
\nResearch scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs from seven countries gathered at the University of California, San Diego, from March 2-4 for the annual ON*VECTOR International Photonics Workshop, a three-day \u201cmeeting of the minds\u201d devoted to exploring the hottest and most relevant topics in computing and networking.<\/p>\n
ON*VECTOR stands for Optical Networked Virtual Environments Collaborative Trans-Oceanic Research. The annual ON*VECTOR workshop has contributed to the increased international use and ongoing development of photonic (or optical) networks. Optical networks \u2014 or communication networks that transmit information in the form of light (photons) \u2014 provide greatly increased bandwidth because multiple signals can be transmitted through optical fiber across individual wavelengths of light, called lambdas.<\/p>\n
