Alcatel-Lucent recently submitted three important papers at the European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC) held in Germany, further consolidating its leading position in the field of optical fiber communication technology research. Including these three papers, Alcatel-Lucent's Bell Labs and Alcatel-Lucent Research & Innovation Center submitted a total of 38 papers to the conference, showcasing their latest advancements in optical fiber communication research and laying the foundation for the future deployment of 100G Ethernet services.
The main breakthroughs achieved by Alcatel-Lucent in the field of optical fiber communication research include: achieving record-breaking long-distance information transmission over a single fiber at a rate of 12.8Tbit/s over 2,550 kilometers (pioneering long-distance information transmission with 100Gbit/s per wavelength); realizing groundbreaking 8Tbit/s data transmission through a simple and efficient 100Gbit/s channel modulation method; and for the first time achieving hybrid transmission of 100Gbit/s and 40Gbit/s in the same wavelength division multiplexing system, proving the coexistence and upgradability of channels at both rates within the same wavelength division system.
