Transition-Aware Routing in Hybrid Hollow-Core/Single-Mode Fiber Networks: A Cost--Throughput Investigation
Md Ghulam Saber, Zhiping Jiang
The paper evaluates how routing strategies can balance the reduction of hollow‑core to single‑mode fiber transitions against traffic throughput in hybrid optical networks, using si…
Beyond Silica Assumptions: Optical Network Design in the Hollow-Core Era
Md Ghulam Saber, Zhiping Jiang
Hollow-core fiber (HCF) is often presented as a modestly improved transmission medium that can be inserted into networks originally designed for solid-core silica. We argue instead…
System-Level Limits of Higher-Order QAM in Hollow-Core Fiber Systems
Md Ghulam Saber, Zhiping Jiang
Hollow-core fiber (HCF) is widely expected to enable higher-order quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) because of its near-vacuum Kerr nonlinearity and higher launch power. We dev…
Protection Switching in Hybrid Hollow-Core and Single-Mode Fiber Networks: Challenges, Analysis, and Mitigation Strategies
Md Ghulam Saber, Zhiping Jiang
Hollow-core fibers (HCF) are transitioning from laboratory curiosities to production-deployed infrastructure, with cloud providers operating thousands of kilometers of hollow-core…
Hollow-Core Fiber in Direct-Detection Optical Networks: Technology Readiness, Deployment Drivers, and Adoption Outlook
Md Ghulam Saber, Zhiping Jiang
This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of hollow-core fiber (HCF) for intensity-modulation and direct-detection (IMDD) optical networks, covering fiber-level physics, system-…
