P-ONE Cluster 1 deployment and first photon-rate measurements in the deep Pacific
Abstract digest
P-ONE Cluster 1 — seven 1-km-long strings with 70 optical modules each — was deployed at the Cascadia Basin site in November 2025. First-light photon-rate measurements confirm absorption length and scattering length within design specification; full-cluster operation begins May 2026.
Editor's takeaway
P-ONE moves from R&D to operational. First diffuse-astrophysical-flux paper expected within 18 months.
Editorial digest in preparation.
