We are pleased to announce our new conference paper:
Bruno Correia, João Pedro & Nelson Costa, “Hollow-Core Fiber Specifications for Competitive Deployment in Regio/Long-Haul Optical Networks”, OFC 2025 (Paper Tu3I.3)
🔗 Access the paper: https://doi.org/10.1364/OFC.2025.Tu3I.3
Highlights:
- Analyses the specification requirements (e.g., fiber attenuation, amplifier gain-bandwidth) for HCF to achieve parity with conventional optical fibers in regional and long-haul backbone networks.
- Provides guidance on how HCF can offer capacity scaling and future-proof networks under the Allegro project’s vision.
- Offers cost-/performance trading insights for network planners considering next-gen HCF upgrades.
