Welcome to the 2016 Munich Workshop on Information Theory of Optical Fiber (MIO 2016)!
On December 5-6, 2016, the TUM Institute for Communications Engineering (LNT) is organising the 2016 Munich Workshop on Information Theory of Optical Fiber (MIO 2016). The workshop will bring together researchers from the fields of information theory and optical fiber to explore new ideas. Emphasis is placed on theory, especially how fiber nonlinearities affect channel capacity, and on experimental work that leads to new insight on capacity. The workshop should promote interaction and collaboration among the participants.
We look forward to seeing you in Munich!
Tobias Fehenberger, Javier García, René Essiambre, Gerhard Kramer
