Coupled Multi-Core Optical Fiber Suitable for Ultra-Long-Haul Transmission
Optical Fiber is at the core of modern communications;
a reality that deserves a great attention, in terms of security, performance,
agility and more.
On this
momentum, Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd., has developed a new-type coupled
multi-core optical fiber suitable for ultra-long-haul transmission, which has
set new records of the low attenuation and the low spatial mode dispersion in
the optical fibers for space division multiplexing.
For those who are unfamiliar, the
data network traffic in the long-haul transmission systems is growing due to
the widespread uses of smartphones, data centers, and others; and the
transmission capacity need permanent improvements.
