Revolutionizing optical fiber transmission and networking using the Orbital Angular Momentum of light

Invited Talk at ECOC 2015 Symposium: Optical Communications and Networks for Datacenters.

The talk will revise the new research results on the use of the orbital angular momentum of light for increasing the capacity and the flexibility in  nextgeneration datacenters. The new European project ROAM, focused on the development of innovative architectures and dedicated photonic integrated cuits, will be presented.
