“…This is different from the usage of an equalizer in the MC amplifier because every mode of the MM-amplifier is coupled with each other. The first trials were conducted for 3-mode EDFAs [99,100,101,102] and Raman amplifier [103]. The WDM coupler was fabricated with FSO by using dichroic mirrors.…”

SUMMARYThe potential transmission capacity of a standard single-mode fiber peaks at around 100 Tb/s owing to fiber nonlinearity and the bandwidth limitation of amplifiers. As the last frontier of multiplexing, space-division multiplexing (SDM) has been studied intensively in recent years. Although there is still time to deploy such a novel fiber communication infrastructure; basic research on SDM has been carried out. Therefore, a comprehensive review is worthwhile at this time toward further practical investigations.

“…When multiple independent modes are used as an independent channel, the scheme is also called mode-division multiplexing (MDM). More recently, even multi-core few-mode fibers (MC-FMFs) have been studied as a combination of the two fibers to further increase the transmission capacity [22,23] There has been much progress in MDM transmission experiments since 2011, employing well designed FMFs or coupled MCFs either with or without multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processing [24], where a transmission distance up to 4,200 km or 57.6 Tb/s net capacity over 119 km have been achieved [25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. MDM transmission employing orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes [32] has also demonstrated where 400 Gb/s QPSK data was transmitted recently over 1.1 km [33].…”

“…Multi-mode (MM) or multi-core (MC) optical amplifiers are strongly required for long-haul systems and should be major enablers to make SDM systems cost-effective and energy-efficient compared to present systems. MM/MC amplifiers, either EDFA-based or Raman-based, have been proposed and even used in the transmission experiments mentioned above [29,31,[41][42][43][44][45][46][47].…”

“…), the available transmission capacity for single mode optical fiber is exhausting at a very fast rate, and radical solutions are now sought in order to be able to keep up with rapidly growing traffic demand. One of the solutions to enable significant capacity scale-up is space division multiplexing, or spatial multiplexing [1][2][3]. Spatial multiplexing increases transmission capacity by multiplexing several data signals in the cores of multicore fibers (MCFs) [4] or in the modes of multimode fibers (MMFs), in which case, it is often called mode-division multiplexing (MDM) [5].…”

Abstract:We report for the first time on the limitations in the operational power range of few-mode fiber based transmission systems, employing 28Gbaud quadrature phase shift keying transponders, over 1,600km. It is demonstrated that if an additional mode is used on a preexisting few-mode transmission link, and allowed to optimize its performance, it will have a significant impact on the pre-existing mode. In particular, we show that for low mode coupling strengths (weak coupling regime), the newly added variable power mode does not considerably impact the fixed power existing mode, with performance penalties less than 2dB (in Q-factor). On the other hand, as mode coupling strength is increased (strong coupling regime), the individual launch power optimization significantly degrades the system performance, with penalties up to ~6dB. Our results further suggest that mutual power optimization, of both fixed power and variable power modes, reduces power allocation related penalties to less than 3dB, for any given coupling strength, for both high and low differential mode delays.
