With the development of space division multiplexing and multi-core fibre sensor technologies, multi-core fibre will be a vital branch of fibre development. Multi-core fibre (MCF) is a new kind of fibre with multiple separate fibre cores co-existing in the same cladding. Based on the concept of space division multiplexing (SDM), multi-core fibre can transmit multi-channel optical signals simultaneously and is expected to be a breakthrough technology against the capacity crunch of optical transmission system over a single mode fibre. YOFC's single-mode multi-core fibre has a wide promising future in optical transmission field.
This product can achieve long-distance SDM optical signal transmission, and can be widely used in communication, sensor, industry, medical equipment, and other fields.
