Scope and Motivation

With the explosive growth of information capacity demand, the development needs of optical communication technology are becoming more and more obvious. The wide application of artificial intelligence technology has brought new vitality to optical communication, driving the innovation of various intelligent technologies in the field of optical communication, and has always received extensive attention from the industry and the industry. In particular, the combination of artificial intelligence with existing optical communication systems and optical signal processing technologies in the network can provide efficient solutions for performance improvement and network optimization such as broadband optical access, high-speed optical transmission, flexible optical switching, and intelligent optical networking.

However, with the continuous exploration and discovery of scientific researchers, there are still many challenges in scientific research, development and application to truly integrate artificial intelligence and optical communication. Therefore, we solicit excellent papers in the fields of artificial intelligence-driven optical communication theory and technology, artificial intelligence-based optical network application and practice from experts and scholars at home and abroad engaged in optical communication and artificial intelligence related research, and conduct discussions and exchanges. Share the latest research results of artificial intelligence in the field of optical communication.

 Topics
