In this study, nonlinear damping is introduced as a critical enhancement in the operation of a fiber tip optomechanical flow-sensor. The flow sensor, is integrated onto the cleaved face of an optical ...

We evaluate selectively upgrading optical networks with Hollow Core Fibers for long-term capacity scaling. Upgrading 50% of links with HCF delivers 2.1x more traffic and 38% lower cost-per-Tbps ...
