IPC Conference (IEEE Photonics Conference) is an annual event that focuses on advances in photonics science and engineering. It provides a forum for the exchange of ideas in optical communication, signal processing, and photonic integration. Researchers and engineers present peer-reviewed papers and demonstrations. NEC Laboratories America participates in the conference to showcase developments in optical networking and transmission systems. IPC remains a leading venue for exploring the future of photonic technologies.
Eric Blow of NEC Labs will address how machine-learning methods applied to distributed acoustic-sensing data can monitor facility perimeters and detect intrusion via walk, dig, or drive events over buried optical fibre—for example achieving ~90% classification accuracy.
