Biography: Prof. Debasish Datta
Professor Debasish Datta received his BTech degree in 1973 from the Institute of Radiophysics and Electronics, Calcutta University, and MTech and PhD degrees from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur in 1976 and 1987, respectively. He has been serving in the faculty at IIT Kharagpur for over thirty years. In the early phase of his career, he worked in electronics and telecommunication industry for nearly three years. At IIT Kharagpur, he served as the Head in G. S. Sanyal School of Telecommunications during 1999-2002 and during 2010-2012. He also served as the Head of the Department of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering during 2007-2008. From IIT Kharagpur, he visited Stanford University during 1992-1993 to work on Coherent Optical Communications. Thereafter, he visited University of California, Davis, during 1997-1999 and Chonbuk National University, South Korea, during 2003-2004 to work on Optical Networking.
Prof. Datta has been a co-winner of Sir J. C. Bose Award in 1985 from the Institution of Electronics and Radio Engineers (IERE), UK, for a paper on optical receiver in the Journal of IERE and the best paper award for a paper on WDM/OCDMA-based passive optical networks in IEEE ANTS 2008. He served as Guest Editor for the special issue (January, 2002) of the IEEE Journal of Selected Areas in Communications on WDM-based network architectures and in the Editorial Board for the Elsevier Journal of Optical Switching and Networking. He also served as Technical Program Co-Chair and Track Chair for Core Telecom Networks in IEEE ANTS 2012 and 2009, respectively. Presently he serves as an Editor for the IEEE Communication Surveys and Tutorials. He also serves or has served in Technical Program Committees of several national as well as international conferences and symposia in the area of optical communications and networking. His current research interests include wavelength-routed optical backbones, WDM-based passive optical networks, datacenter networks, optical interconnects in networks-on-chips for multi-core processors and energy-efficient wireless communication systems.

Abstract: Since the invention of lasers in 1960s and subsequent break-through in realizing low-loss optical fibers, the last few decades have witnessed outstanding developments in the areas of fiber optics and optical communication networks. In particular, the advances in fiber-optic components made significant contributions towards enhancing the capacity of present-day telecommunication and information technologies. For example, telecommunication backbones for metro, regional, national as well as trans-national networks have mostly deployed high-capacity optical transmission systems using wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) technology, while in LANs and lately in access segments (last mile) optical networking has also been introduced. On a smaller scale, for in-house networking within the datacenters (DCs), attempts are being made to use optical switching technology using WDM for high-speed connectivity between server racks. Interestingly, on a rather very small scale, silicon-on-insulator (SOI) based optical WDM interconnects are now emerging as the energy-efficient high-speed options for data transfer between the cores used in multi-core processors using network-on-chip (NoC). However, be it long-distance spans for optical telecom backbones, intra-DC optical networks or a few tens of millimeters of optical interconnects for NoCs, one eventually needs to address the problems of optical transmission links that realize the data transfers from source to destination nodes. For example, in optical telecom networks using WDM, one needs to design the system, by taking into account the resource constraints, such as, available wavelengths and transceivers, optical amplifiers, network connectivity (topology) etc., along with intelligent strategies to avoid/alleviate the problems of transmission impairments due to fiber dispersion and nonlinearities, amplifier noise, switching and multiplexing crosstalks etc. Similarly, in intra-DC networks, while supplementing the complex electrical interconnections using high-speed energy-efficient optical WDM connectivity between the top-of-the-rack servers, one needs to address again the relevant issues of WDM components, such as, tunability of optical sources and filters, agility of optical switching fabric and so on. The design of SOI-based optical WDM interconnects in NoCs also faces similar challenges, e.g., noise, crosstalk, waveguide loss, topology and switching/routing losses and crosstalks, however with much smaller sizes of devices and interconnecting links (e.g., micro-ring modulators/switches, short planar waveguides) having newer impairment and networking paradigms. Thus, it gets interesting to see that, the basic nature of problems appears to be fundamentally similar, but with varying implications and manifestations for different sizes and settings of the networks under consideration. The proposed talk will present an overview and address the various design challenges of the evolving optical communication networks cutting across the wide-ranging scales of network settings, with due consideration to the underlying transmission impairments.
