Workshop 1: The chances and challenges of hollow core fibers for communication
Description:
With the booming development of new digital services such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and industrial internet, the high-capacity and low-latency characteristics are becoming increasingly important in optical fiber networks. However, the capacity limitations of traditional silicon-based fiber systems are becoming apparent in the high-speed transmission system. Meanwhile, the latency cannot be reduced due to the transmission medium. Hollow Core Fiber (HCF) has excellent transmission performance such as low latency, low attenuation, and low dispersion. Recently, a number of fiber manufacturers have reported the latest progress on HCF, which show that the lowest attenuation coefficient has exceeded that of traditional silicon-based fiber. Moreover, the fiber deployment projects and the field trails with single-wave rates ranging from 10G-1.2T have been carried out in the many countries. Those indicate that the technologies of HCF system are moving rapidly from the laboratory to commercialization, but the application of the new-type fiber still faces numerous challenges.

Workshop 5: Challenges and Solutions of Optical Switching in Empowering AI Computing Centers
Description:
As artificial intelligence (AI) computing centers rapidly scale to meet the increasing demands of large-scale model training and inference, the underlying network infrastructure faces growing pressure in bandwidth, latency, scalability, and energy efficiency. In this context, optical switching technology, with its inherent advantages such as ultra-high bandwidth and low latency, is increasingly recognized as a key enabler for future intelligent computing infrastructures. However, deploying optical switching technologies in AI computing centers still faces several critical challenges at both technical and application levels. From application perspective, the specific use cases in scale-up and scale-out networks, along with the core value they bring, require further discussion and clarification. From application perspetive, switching granularity is often fixed and cannot simultaneously support multiple levels of traffic volume. Additionally, switching scale is limited by device bottlenecks, making large-scale expansion difficult. Furthermore, network configuration requires significant control time, hindering support for the highly dynamic traffic demands typical of emerging AI applications. This workshop will explore these technical bottlenecks and discuss recent advances in optical switching devices, high-dimensional optical switching architectures, and network control strategies tailored for distributed AI workloads. Through both academic and industrial perspectives, we aim to identify feasible paths toward building scalable, efficient, and future-proof optical networks for AI computing centers.

Workshop 9: When optical networks meet fibre sensing, what is the killer application?
Description:
Optical fibre is the most suitable media, not only for optical network transmission, but also for distributed sensing. Both of these two main technologies all have decades histories of development since the innovation of fibre. Now, optical networks meet fibre sensing, convergent optical communication and sensing, attract deeply discussions across the industrial and academic, cross the fibre transmission and fibre sensing. Different fibre sensing techniques could be integrated with optical networks, including back-scattering effect based sensing, coherent DSP based sensing. And the optical networks could be the access network, metro networks, longhaul backbone networks, and even transoceanic submarine cable systems. With the enhanced sensing ability and awareness of the around status of fibre/cable, convergent optical communication and sensing could obtain many advantages, to upgrade the reliability and operation of itself, and to provide sensing as a service externally. With quite hot discussions for years, while commercial deployment is still on the way, so what is the killer application, for convergent optical communication and sensing, to make the closed-loop of new technique. The workshop invite opinions to focusing on these issues, how to integrate fibre sensing with different optical networks, how to achieve it cost-effectively, what is the killer application for end-user, especially the operators.

Description:
In autonomous driving vehicles, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), as the core environment sensor, provides key spatial information input for scene understanding through accurate calculation of the geometry, spatial position, and motion vector of surrounding objects. With the introduction of optical fiber communication, the intra-vehicle optical network (IVON) constitutes a high-speed data transmission infrastructure within vehicles, which can reliably transmit massive raw data generated by sensors such as high-definition cameras and LiDAR in real time to ensure the data integrity of the decision-making control system under complex working conditions. LiDAR and IVON work together to support the robustness and functional safety of the autonomous driving system. However, as emerging technologies, LiDAR and IVON are both debated in multiple directions.
