32 homes. It is possible to have more than two splitting stages in a cascaded system, and the overall split ratio may vary (1x16 = 4 x 4, 1x32 = 4 x 8, 1x64 = 4 x 4 x 4).

Our sister title Electro Optics has revealed its Photonics100 list of photonics innovators for 2025, and many of the honourees are from the fibre systems and optical communications fields

This White Paper outlines an improved approach to optical network restoration, based on an SDN control plane. This approach aligns with current networking trends, including IP traffic offloading from the OTN layer, adoption of network layer disaggregation, and increased network automation.

The research team achieved this speed thanks to the development of optical amplifiers and optical gain equalisers that can open up specific new wavelength bands that are not yet used in fibre optic systems. This White Paper from Prysmian provides detailed information about the longevity of Sirocco ...

In his plenary keynote at OFC, David Richardson, Partner Researcher at Microsoft, reviewed the progress in emerging transmission fibre technologies and discussed where they might prove most disruptive in future optical networks. Stay at the forefront of …
