Multi-Core Fiber & SDM: The Optical Infrastructure for the AI Datacenter Era
The rapid growth of cloud, video, and especially AI workloads is pushing conventional optical infrastructure toward its capacity limits. Several studies show that single-mode fiber has nearly exhausted familiar modulation dimensions such as amplitude, frequency, and polarization; the only remaining dimension with significant scalability is space . This is why Space-Division Multiplexing (SDM) and Multi-Core Fiber (MCF) are emerging as strategic directions for next-generation
