title = "Science and technology challenges in XXIst century optical communications",
abstract = "The state of the art of XXIst century optical communication systems is reviewed through the associated technologies of laser sources, photo-receivers, integrated photonic circuits, optical fibres, and coherent modulation formats. Emphasis is put on current science and technology challenges to approach ultimate physical limits and to develop innovative solutions allowing performance enhancement at minimal cost increase.",
