The EU-Japan SAFARI project has achieved groundbreaking progress in Multi-Core Fiber (MCF) technology, demonstrating Pbit/s transmission over distances exceeding 1000 km. This includes high-core-count MCF with over 30 cores and innovations in XT-aware optical networks, crucial for optimizing long-distance transmission. The project showcased adaptive traffic engineering using real-time inter-core crosstalk (XT) monitoring through a software-defined network (SDN) controller.
