Senior Researcher Ezra Ip has been invited to present Sensors Based on Forward Transmission using the Telecom Infrastructure at CLEO 2026 in Charlotte, NC, on Monday, May 18th, from 5:30-6:00pm. He explores a compelling frontier: using existing telecom networks as environmental sensors. He will present a review of environmental sensing using telecom infrastructure with sensors that measure accumulated phase and SOP.

CLEO 2026

He will discuss the theory of event detection, localization, applications and recent experimental results. It is a great example of how our researchers at NEC Labs America is pushing the boundaries of what telecom networks can do, turning the fiber already in the ground into a powerful scientific instrument.

CLEO (Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics) is the premier international forum for scientific and technical optics, bringing together all aspects of laser technology from basic research to industry applications. It unites the fields of lasers and opto-electronics, covering topics from quantum computing to advanced imaging. The technical conference runs May 17-21, 2026, with the exhibition on May 19-20, both held at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, NC. The conference is co-sponsored by APS, IEEE Photonics, and Optica, and is supported by media partners including Laser Focus World and Photonics Media.
