Traditional single-mode fiber capacity issues will be mitigated by using space-division multiplexing in future 5G, IoT, and M2M networks. Multi-core fibers are expected as a good candidate for overcoming the capacity limit of a current optical communication system. This chapter describes the recent progress on the Multi-core fibers technology for the application of high capacity space-division multiplexing to be utilized for long-distance transmission systems. Further various optical approaches that enable key functions are discussed, including SDM MUX/DeMUX, switches, transceivers to enable next generation optical network. Moreover, issues like crosstalk, non-linearity is a potential limitation on the achievable data-rates in optical fiber transmission systems using multi-core fibers will be discussed.

“…In order to further increase the fibre capacity, space division multiplexing (SDM) over different cores in a multicore fibre (MCF) was firstly proposed in 1979 [13]. Later in 2010, when the capacity crunch became a reality [14], MCF appeared as a strong SDM medium candidate for next generation optical networks [15]. MCF comprises multiple cores with sufficiently low crosstalk between neighbouring cores in a single fibre to provide separated spatial paths [12].…”

In this work we report a comprehensive experimental study targeting the dimensioning of the next-generation multicore-fibre (MCF) optical fronthaul employing space-division multiplexing (SDM). This fronthaul is capable of simultaneous provision of multiple radio-access technologies (multi-RATs) with advanced multi-antenna MIMO capabilities per RAT. The different parameters required for fronthaul dimensioning are evaluated considering state-of-the-art 4G LTE-Advanced altogether other legacy wireless standards in operation nowadays. In particular, the modulation characteristics, the antenna quality requirements (in terms of EVM, phase error or rho) and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) thresholds are evaluated employing fully-standard cellular signals transmitted on a multicore fibre (MCF) fronthaul. The study includes bi-directional signal transmission and multi-antenna MIMO multiplexing. The MCF optical fronthaul is evaluated with a multiplexed transmission of 2G, 3G, 3.9G and 4G MIMO signals in radio-over-multicore-fibre (RoMCF) employing commercially available four-core MCF. The received SNR requirements are obtained for each cellular signal considering GSM, EDGE, EGPRS2-A, cdma2000 1xEV-DO, UMTS HSPA+ and LTE-Advanced. Single-antenna and two-antenna systems implementing 2×2 MIMO transmission can be accomplished with SNR levels over 25 dB. In the case of 4×4 MIMO multiplexing over four cores of MCF fronthaul transmission, 32 dB SNR is needed to achieve almost four times the provided bitrate per user.

“…One of the fundamental tasks is the choosing of proper waveguide. Communication with mode multiplexing may be developed on multi-core fiber with weak coupling between different cores [5] or on the fiber with one core. It was reported previously about special types of fibers with one core proposing very weak coupling between different spatial modes [6][7][8].…”

In this paper we consider nonlinear impairments of mode division multiplexed signals with QAM modulation in optical fibers with linear mode coupling of spatial modes. We simulate simultaneous propagation of fundamental mode and two first-order vortex modes in standard single mode fiber at 850 nm and propagation of fundamental mode and first-and second-order vortices in step-index fiber with enlarged core at 1550 nm. Simulation results shows that in strong coupling regime linear coupling lead to sufficient increasing of nonlinear impairments, but QAM-modulated signal is more robust to this effect than OOK modulated signal.
