High-capacity optical transmission technology expands the transmission capacity per hour compared to conventional optical transmission. Thus far, the transmission capacity per optical fiber has been drastically increased by multiplexing, signal density and multi-leveling, via methods such as “time division multiplexing” “wavelength division multipl. Communications traffic is expected to continue increasing due to the spread of ultra-high-definition video, IoT, big data, and AI. In order to respond to this development, it is necessary to economically realize even higher capacity on the backbone optical communication network. For this reason, NTT and NTT Communications are developing world-class. NTT has constructed a 1,122 km transmission environment for wavelength multiplexed signals with 1 terabit/second optical signal, using a new core-extended low-loss optical fiber cable that reduces optical loss and optical nonlinearity, installed in the NTT Communications commercial environment, and an optical transceiver newly developed by NTT. As. How fast is 1 terabit/second communication? One terabit is equal to 1,000 GB. For example, a 2 hour movie of standard definition fits within 2GB, so 1 terabit is equivalent more than 500 movies. In other words, if communication becomes possible at a speed of 1 terabit/second, 500 movies could be downloaded within 1 second. When this ultra-high-spee.
