This workshop will explore the evolving landscape of high-capacity optical communications, focusing on the impact of hollow core fibers (HCF) on the future viability of Spatial Division Multiplexing (SDM). As SDM emerges as a leading strategy for increasing transmission capacity by utilizing multiple spatial channels within a single fiber, the rapid advancements in HCF technology present both opportunities and challenges. HCFs, with their ability to reduce latency, minimize non-linearities, and enable higher data transmission over long distances, may disrupt current SDM developments, calling into question the scalability and relevance of SDM in future commercial deployments.
This workshop is technically co-sponsored by the Technical Committee on Extremely Advanced Optical Transmission Technologies (EXAT), IEICE, Japan.
