Aim of Technical Committee on Optical Fiber Technologies (OFT)
One of the most important aims of our committee is to contribute to technological innovation of optical fiber technologies for development of industrial applications by focusing on the technologies from cross-sector viewpoints on the communication engineering, measurement technologies, optical devices, and materials.
Activities
OFT holds six technical meetings a year including four in regional cities. Topics of these meeting are application technologies and systems of optical fibers and in the meetings, around 120 papers are presented and total attendee is around 500 every year. We are affirmatively co-hosting technical meetings not only with other related technical committees in Communications and Electronics Societies of IEICE and also with technical groups in other societies such as The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.
