*Activities and Research Fields [#m8b924c7]
Research interest of the Technical Comittee on Optical Communication Systems (OCS) lies in various technical fields associated with optical communication systems, ranging from component technologies to network systems. The OCS Group holds technical meetings 7 or 8 times per year. More than 100 papers are annually presented in the meetings and more than 400s attend every year.
The OCS meetings are often organized in the cooperation with other related technical comittees, such as the Communication Systems Group (CS), the Optoelectronics Group (OPE), the Lasers and Quantum Electronics Group (LQE), the Network Systems Group (NS), or the Radio and Optical Fiber Transmission Group of the Institute of Image Information and Television Engineers.
In addition to existing research fields such as optical link or transmission technologies for backbone and/or access networks, the OCS Group is now covering novel research fields such as optical network architecture and operation techniques, whose progress will provide an optical network solution as a social infrastructure that supports the forthcoming multimedia society.
The following is a list of research fields covered by the OCS Group.
