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 …

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 …

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 …

Randomly-coupled multi-core fiber (MCF) technology has come to attract lots of attention
because of its strong applicability to long-haul transmission systems. Compared with weakly …

We developed a 15.2-km submarine cable prototype which can accommodate up to 16 fiber
pairs (FPs) of 125 μm standard cladding diameter 4-core uncoupled multicore fiber (UC …

Coupling mechanisms and design issues in multi-core fibers (MCFs) for space division
multiplexing are described in this paper. For uncoupled MCFs, a design procedure that …

Since its early commercial deployment in the late 1980s, optical fiber has evolved to become
the predominant carrier of the globe's communications. Yet, after accommodating the world's …

Few-mode fibers and coupled-core multi-core fibers are attractive transmission media for
space-division multiplexed transmission systems as they enable a high spatial channel …

Since optical submarine cable systems are a part of the global communications
infrastructure, their total capacity must be continuously and dramatically enlarged. Recently …
