Thank you to all attendees, speakers, staff and organizers for coming together to make ICTON 2013 a fantastic event.
Welcome
The National Institute of Telecommunications, Department of Transmission and Optical Technologies in Warsaw, together with the Department of Information Technologies and Communications of the Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena, and the IEEE Photonics Society Poland Chapter are pleased to announce the 15th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON 2013) which will be kindly hosted at the El Batel Auditorium and Convention Center, Cartagena, Spain, June 23-27, 2013. The conference is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE and the IEEE Photonics Society.
The El Batel Auditorium is located next to the seafront and the marina, walking-distance to city centre, cultural and touristic places. Cartagena is famous of its unique artistic heritage, with a number of landmarks such as the Roman Theatre and a lot of Phoenician, Roman, Byzantine and Moorish remains.
The scope of the Conference is concentrated on the applications of transparent and all-optical technologies in telecommunications, computing and novel applications, and includes:
- Digital all-optical networks
- Ultra-dense wavelength-division multiplexing
- Ultra-fast optical time domain multiplexing
