The University of Southampton’s world-leading Optoelectronic Research Centre (ORC), based in the Zepler Institute of Photonics and Nanoelectronics, has announced significant breakthroughs in hollow-core fibre (HCF) technology at ECOC2019 in Dublin this week.
The breakthrough presented this week unveils hollow core Nested Antiresonant Nodeless Fibre (NANF) with a loss of 0.65dB/km across the full C and L telecommunication bands. This has been backed up with a data transmission test, reporting the longest hollow-core fibre transmission on record, reaching 340km.
