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 …

The inter-core crosstalk (IC-XT) of multi-core fiber (MCF) limits the capacity of space division
multiplexing system (SDM) fundamentally. We develop a closed-form expression of the …

We present a study of multicore fiber (MCF) crosstalk using the coupled mode theory. We
derived a general closed-form simulation formula for the crosstalk of MCF under random …

This paper proposes and evaluates the use of machine learning (ML) techniques for
mitigating the effect of the random inter-core crosstalk (ICXT) on 256 Gb/s short-reach …

Direct-detection on-off keying (DD-OOK) weakly-coupled multicore fiber (WC-MCF) systems
impaired by intercore crosstalk (ICXT) and laser phase noise are investigated numerically …

As a fundamental limiting factor in the space division multiplexing (SDM) system based on
weakly coupled multi-core fiber (MCF), inter-core crosstalk (IC-XT) requires measuring …

Four-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM4) signals transmission in short-haul intensity
modulation-direct detection datacenters connections supported by homogeneous weakly …

An artificial neural network is investigated to improve the performance of self-coherent
weakly-coupled multicore fibre (WC-MCF) systems. Particularly, a feedforward neural …

In-service crosstalk monitoring based on the precoding technique in a discrete multitone
(DMT) system is proposed and validated experimentally. The method relies on the ability of …

The impact of the polarization misalignment between the signal and the intercore crosstalk
(ICXT) on the performance of direct detection (DD) weakly coupled multicore fiber (WC …
