Single-mode fiber's physical capacity boundaries will soon be reached; hence, alternative
solutions are much needed to overcome the multiplying and remarkably large bandwidth …

Abstract Space division multiplexing (SDM) is a promising optical network solution with the
scaling potential to overcome the possible capacity crunch problem in backbone networks …

Elastic optical networking (EON) with space-division multiplexing (SDM) is the only evident
long-term solution to the capacity needs of the future networks. The introduction of space via …
