In the wave of rapid development of optical fiber communication technology, ZTE and YOFC have jointly completed a milestone verification - successfully realized an ultra-high power real-time transmission system based on air-core optical fiber. This achievement not only demonstrates the deep strength of both parties in the field of optical fiber communication technology, but also opens up new possibilities for the future development of global optical fiber communication.
Technological innovation, leading the future
The core of this verification is that the single-wavelength 1.2Tb/s achieves the real-time transmission of 3W (34.8dBm) into the fiber for the first time in the hollow core fiber. This feat not only verifies the great potential of air-core optical fiber in high-speed and high-power transmission, but also demonstrates the excellent capabilities of ZTE and YOFC in technological innovation. By using the advanced erbium-ytterbium co-doped fiber amplifier (EYDFA) and high-order modulated coherent optical modules, the two parties have successfully overcome the nonlinear effects and attenuation problems faced by traditional optical fibers in high-power transmission, and achieved unprecedented transmission efficiency and stability.
Hollow Fiber: A New Chapter in Fiber Optic Communications
With its unique structure and characteristics, hollow-core optical fiber has become a new star in the field of optical fiber communication technology. Compared with traditional single-mode optical fibers, air-core optical fibers use air as the transmission medium, which has ultra-low latency, ultra-low nonlinearity and excellent broadband transmission performance. These advantages make air-core optical fibers show great application potential in latency-sensitive and high-bandwidth application scenarios such as high-frequency trading, data center interconnection, and AI large models.
During the verification process, ZTE and YOFC fully demonstrated these excellent characteristics of air-core fibers through a series of precise experiments and tests. Through the test of different fiber input power, the stability of the hollow core fiber under high power conditions was verified, and it was found that it showed a very low cost in terms of Kerr nonlinear effect and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) effect. This result not only proves the reliability of air-core fiber in long-distance transmission, but also provides strong support for its application in a wider range of fields.

Win-win cooperation and create brilliance together
The cooperation between ZTE and YOFC is not only a strong combination of technology, but also a deep insight and grasp of future market trends. Through resource sharing and complementary advantages, the two sides have jointly promoted the innovation and development of optical fiber communication technology. This cooperation not only brings significant economic benefits and market share to both parties, but also sets a new benchmark for the future development of the global optical fiber communication industry.
Looking forward to the future, with the continuous progress of the air-core optical fiber manufacturing process and the continuous expansion of application scenarios, ZTE and YOFC will continue to deepen their cooperation and jointly explore the infinite possibilities of optical fiber communication technology. The two parties will be committed to promoting the commercialization of air-core optical fiber technology, accelerating its wide application in various fields, and contributing more wisdom and strength to the prosperity and development of the global optical fiber communication industry.
In short, the successful verification of the cooperation between ZTE and YOFC Optical Fiber and Cable Co., Ltd. marks that optical fiber communication technology has entered a new stage of development. We have reason to believe that with the joint efforts of both sides, the future of optical fiber communication technology will be brighter and more brilliant.
