Selective Deployment of Bidirectional Hollow-Core Fibers in Hybrid SMF/HCF Optical Networks
Mëmëdhe Ibrahimi, Giovanni S. Sticca, Angelo Ferrara +1
We investigate selectively deploying bidirectional transmission in hybrid Hollow-Core Fiber (HCF) networks. Upgrading 50% of links to bidirectional HCF yields at least a 40% throug…
