Data rates in optical fiber networks have increased exponentially over the past decades and
core-networks are expected to operate in the peta-bit-per-second regime by 2030. As …

Solitons are waveforms that preserve their shape while propagating, as a result of a balance
of dispersion and nonlinearity,. Soliton-based data transmission schemes were investigated …

Space-division multiplexing (SDM) is an attractive technique for dramatically enhancing the
transmission capacity in a single optical fiber. Recently, ultradense SDM transmission …

The Internet today transmits hundreds of terabits per second, consumes 9% of all electricity
worldwide and grows by 20–30% per year,. To support capacity demand, massively parallel …
