1.2 Tb/s/l Real Time Mode Division Multiplexing Free Space Optical Communication with Commercial 400G Open and Disaggregated Transponders

We experimentally demonstrate real time mode division multiplexing free space optical communication with commercial 400G open and disaggregated transponders. As proof of concept,using HG00, HG10, and HG01 modes, we transmit 1.2 Tb/s/l (3´1l´400Gb/s) error free.

Field Trials of Manhole Localization and Condition Diagnostics by Using Ambient Noise and Temperature Data with AI in a Real-Time Integrated Fiber Sensing System

Field trials of ambient noise-based automated methods for manhole localization and condition diagnostics using a real-time DAS/DTS integrated system were conducted. Crossreferencingmultiple sensing data resulted in a 94.7% detection rate and enhanced anomaly identification.
