Allegro EU Project Recognized at OFC 2024 with 400G Coherent Metro-Access Demonstration

We are pleased to announce that the Allegro EU Project team presented a top-scored paper at the Optical Fiber Communication Conference (OFC) 2024, which was also nominated for the Tyngie Lee Award:

G. Rizzelli, M. Casasco, A. Pagano, V. Ferrero, and R. Gaudino
“Experimental Demonstration of In-Field 400G Coherent Metro-Access Convergence,” OFC 2024, paper W1J.1.

Highlights:

• Demonstrated 400 Gb/s coherent transmission in a real metro-access scenario using 50 GBaud PM-16QAM over deployed fiber.
• Provided experimental validation for converging metro and access segments into a unified optical infrastructure.
• Recognized as a top contribution in the Access subcommittee.

This achievement marks a major step forward in building high-capacity, converged optical networks for the 6G era.
