Abstract:

Cyber-physical system is a key for solving social challenges based on sensing-processing-actuation cycle: for instance, visualization of unknown challenges through big-data analysis based on trillion sensor networks. High-speed and high-capacity radio access systems relied on an optical fiber network should be converged and integrated for improvement of availability and resilience. We will discuss advanced R&D activities of integration technologies for the converged network.

Bio: Dr. Atsushi Kanno received B.Sci., M.Sci., and Ph.D. degree in science from the University of Tsukuba, Japan, in 1999, 2001, and 2005, respectively. In 2005, he was with the Venture Business Laboratory of the Institute of Science and Engineering, University of Tsukuba. In 2006, he joined the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), Japan. His research interests are microwave/millimeter-wave/terahertz photonics, ultrafast optical and radio communication systems, and ultrafast phenomena in semiconductor optical devices. He is a member of the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE), the Japan Society of Applied Physics (JSAP), the Laser Society of Japan, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), and the Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).
