conference & convention enabling the next generation of networks & services Presenter Profile Akihiko Matsuura was born in Toyama, Japan in 1969. He received his B. E. degree from the Tokyo University of Science in 1995, and the M. E. degree from Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1997. Since 1997 he has been with NTT Optical Since 1997 he has been with NTT Optical Network Systems Laboratories, where he researched 40 G optical transmission. From 2002 to 2010, he designed commercial 40-G WDM systems and submarine transmission systems. Akihiko Matsuura Email: matsuura.akihiko@lab.ntt.co.jp Tel: (+81) 46 859 4664
