A breakthrough in ocean fiber technology, TeraWave ULA Fiber offers a unique combination of the industry’s largest effective area, excellent cabling performance, and significantly reduced attenuation for reliable coherent transmission at 100 Gb/s and beyond over trans-oceanic distances. The fiber has ultra large effective area (153 µm² ) that reduces nonlinearities, enabling the launch of higher signal power into the span, and low attenuation (0.176 dB/km at 1550 nm) that reduces signal loss.
The ultra large effective area is an enabling feature for future migration to denser signal constellations for increased spectral efficiency.
TeraWave ULA Fiber is manufactured using Lightera’ proprietary manufacturing process, which produces a fiber with low water peak (LWP) performance and ultra-low polarization mode dispersion (PMD).
TeraWave ULA fiber technology is designed for coherent transport of ultra-long haul networks with high spectral efficiency.

Lightera has the capability to color and splice ocean fibers to meet stringent cable requirements. Fibers are selected to meet customer specifications for number of fibers, colors, lengths, and transmission properties. They are then assembled into sets. Final measurements help ensure that customer specified performance is met for all fibers in the set.
