Research on space-division multiplexing (SDM) came to prominence in early 2010 being
primarily proposed as a means of multiplying the information-carrying capacity of optical …

This paper reviews the performance of optimized modulation formats in two, four, and eight
dimensions. We present performance (lower bounds) for higher dimensions by exploiting …

Space division multiplexing (SDM) is mainly seen as a means to increase data throughput
and handle exponential traffic growth in future optical networks. But its role is certainly more …

This study presents an evaluation of the time and modulation frequency-varying power
transfer of crosstalk in a homogeneous multi-core fiber (MCF). Experimental observations …

We discuss optical transmission using homogeneous, single-mode, multicore fibers. We first
describe the key fiber properties that can affect transmission, such as intercore crosstalk and …

We investigate the impact of intercore crosstalk on the achievable transmission distance of
three square quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) formats. We show that increasing …

An analytical discrete changes model of the inter-core crosstalk (ICXT) in real homogeneous
weakly-coupled multi-core fibers (MCF)(cores with similar but different parameters) with …

We describe optical data transmission systems using homogeneous, single-mode, multi-
core fibers (MCFs). We first briefly discuss space-division multiplexing (SDM) fibers …

Core 5-LP mode homogeneous multicore fibers have been proposed for analysis of inter-
core crosstalk and dispersion, with four different lattice structures (circular, 2-ring, square …

The ultimate transmission capacity of standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) is limited by fiber
nonlinearity which prevents increasing transmission power and finite amplifier bandwidth. In …
