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 …

Space-division multiplexing (SDM) uses multiplicity of space channels to increase capacity
for optical communication. It is applicable for optical communication in both free space and …

Abstract Space-division multiplexing (SDM), as a main candidate for future ultra-high
capacity fibre-optic communications, needs to address limitations to its scalability imposed …

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 …

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

Optical communication technology has been advancing rapidly for several decades,
supporting our increasingly information-driven society and economy. Much of this progress …

Multicore fibers (MCFs) are expected as a good candidate for overcoming the capacity limit
of a current optical communication system. This paper describes the recent progress on the …

We use a wideband optical comb source with 10THz bandwidth for 2.15 Pb/s transmission
over 31km of a new, homogeneous 22-core single-mode multi-core fiber using 399× 25GHz …

Single-mode fibres with low loss and a large transmission bandwidth are a key enabler for
long-haul high-speed optical communication and form the backbone of our information …

In order to overcome the capacity limitations of current lightwave systems based on the
single-mode optical fiber, massively parallel transmission in the spatial domain [space …
