Abstract:We report on the design of multimode-mode fibres guiding up to 870 spatial and polarization modes for low differential mode delay over the C-band.
Abstract:A novel MIMO-DSP for space-division multiplexing over multimode fibres is proposed. A principal modes approach is shown to provide two-fold benefits: over 13 times channel memory reduction while minimising the number of optical front-ends needed to detect a subset of the spatial domain.
