A recent demonstration project has successfully showcased the world’s first live single-wavelength 1.2Tbit/s hollow-core fiber transmission system with unidirectional capacity over 100Tbit/s. This achievement marks a significant milestone in the exploration of cutting-edge optical communication technologies.

The project, undertaken by a collaboration of industry leaders, involved the deployment of hollow-core fiber cables and high-speed optical transport equipment. The system achieved a transmission distance of 20km in a live network, meeting the requirements for distributed computing power with large bandwidth and low latency.

Key innovations included the development of hollow-core fiber cables with improved waterproofing solutions and breakthroughs in fusion splicing technologies. These advancements enabled the achievement of low fusion splice loss and high return loss.

The demonstration project paves the way for further research and application expansion in the communication industry, with potential implications for the development of intelligent computing scenarios and distributed computing power.”
