Abstract

This article presents Xinyi Xie in connection with the Best Paper Award for research in Engineering. The recognized study demonstrates a smart cable architecture based on a 100 km weakly coupled four-core multi-core fiber (MCF), with two spatial cores assigned to bidirectional communication and two cores assigned to bidirectional sensing-data backhaul. The experimental system was evaluated using repeatered and unrepeatered configurations, including 500 km and 300 km laboratory links, respectively. Under the tested conditions, the communication system supported 400 Gbps operation, while the sensing path was evaluated using vibration-response measurements.[1]
