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 …

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

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 …

Propagation of light beams through scattering or multimode systems may lead to the
randomization of the spatial coherence of the light. Although information is not lost, its …

Transmission of a 73.7 Tb/s (96x3x256-Gb/s) DP-16QAM mode-division-multiplexed signal
over 119km of few-mode fiber transmission line incorporating an inline multi mode EDFA …

We demonstrate wavelength-and mode-division multiplexed transmission over a fiber re-
circulating loop comprising 50-km of low-DMGD few-mode fiber, and an optimized few-mode …

Recent developments in spatially multiplexed optical communication systems demand a
deeper understanding of mode coupling effects in fibers. Spatial multiplexing is being …

Wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) has been the workhorse of data networks,
accommodating exponential traffic growth for two decades. Recently, however, progress in …

Orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes, having unique properties of a helical phase
structure and doughnut intensity profile, have been widely studied in fiber-optic …

Mode-division multiplexing systems employ multi-input multi-output (MIMO) equalization to
compensate for chromatic dispersion (CD), modal dispersion (MD) and modal crosstalk. The …
