Ateneo ROSES participates in the 30th OptoElectronics and Communications Conference/International Conference (OECC/PSC 2025) on Photonics, Japan

Last June 29 - July 3, 2025, Mr. Kent Emmanuel C. Soria and Mr. Jezlor A. Villarde attended the 30th OptoElectronics and Communications Conference/International Conference on Photonics in Switching and Computing  (OECC/PSC 2025) in Sapporo, Japan. The event was held at the Sapporo Convention Center. Mr. Soria and Mr. Villarde presented a poster at the project showcase of the East Asia Joint Research Program: Seamless Radio and Optical Access Network for Intelligent Commuting and Regional communication with low-cost fabrication (S-ROANIR) alongside partners from Waseda University, Chiang Mai University, National Institute of Communications Technology, Nagoya Technology, and Thai Microelectronics Center. After the event, Mr. Villarde and Mr. Soria joined seminars on novel photonic integrated circuits, quantum key distribution, photonic Ising machines and more. They also attended the Second International Symposium on Photonic computing in conjunction with OECC/PSC for Grant-in-aid for Transformative Research presentation on July 1, 2025.

Ateneo ROSES Lab presents works on (i) Optical Frequency Discrimination and (ii) Multifunctional Optical filter at OECC/PSC 2025

The Ateneo ROSES Laboratory proudly participated in the 30th OptoElectronics and Communications Conference / International Conference on Photonics in Switching and Computing 2025 (OECC/PSC 2025) held from June 29 - July 3, 2025 at the Sapporo Convention Center in Sapporo, Japan.

Representing the lab’s ongoing efforts under the LOFD (Linear Optical Frequency Discriminator) Project, two (2) research papers were presented:

1. Low-cost, Compact, Linear Optical Frequency Discriminator Filter With Bidirectional Capability for 5G/6G Application by Benjamin Dingel, Marinella Dennise Guzman, Joseph Placiente Jr., Alessandra Ilsa Molo (Poster Presentation)

2. System Performance (SNR and OIP3) of Phase-Modulated Direct-Detection Link using Linear Optical Field Frequency Discriminator by Benjamin Dingel, Marinella Dennise Guzman, Joseph Placiente Jr. (Poster Presentation)

Another research paper under a different project (e-Asia JRP Project with Japan, Thailand and Philippines), was presented:

3. Numerical Approach to the Optimization of the Bandwidth Tunability of a Non-cascaded Multifunctional Optical Filter by Ramon Benedict Lapina, Benjamin Dingel, Clint Dominic Bennett (Oral Presentation)

These works highlight the lab’s commitment to advancing low-cost and compact photonic solutions for next-generation wireless communications and optical telecommunication. The first two presentations were delivered by Ms. Marinella Dennise Guzman and Mr. Joseph Placiente, while the third paper was reported by Ramon Lapina but delivered by Mr. Clint Bennett, project leader of the LOFD project.

The conference served as an excellent platform to share and exchange insights with fellow researchers, fostering international collaboration and visibility for Philippine photonics research.
