Frequency-comb spectrum-correlation reflectometry (OFC-SCR) introduces a new distributed fiber-optic acoustic sensing architecture that improves measurement speed, dynamic strain range, and sensitivity for applications such as geohazard monitoring, infrastructure protection, and pipeline security.

As data centers and telecom networks evolve toward higher bandwidth and greater parallelism, traditional fiber connectivity architectures are being pushed to their physical and operational limits. One of the most visible pressure points is port density. The industry’s response has been the emergence of VSFF (Very Small Form Factor) fiber connectivity, which represents not just a smaller connector, but a fundamental shift in how optical networks are designed, deployed, and scaled.
