100-core fibers

100-core fibers with $320\mu m$ cladding diameter and $\lambda cc$ less than 1310nm were successfully designed and fabricated for data-center applications. Low cross-talk less than −25dB at 1km was obtained by the effect of air-hole, which indicated clear advantages compared to the F-trench fibers.
