| Title: Recent advances in few mode fibers for mode-division multiplexing | |
| Abstract: In recent years, mode-division multiplexing (MDM) using few-mode fibers (FMF) have been intensively investigated as the method to increase transmission capacity beyond the nonlinearity Shannon limit of single-mode fibers (SMF). FMFs have drawn much attention in optical communications. In this invited presentation, recent progress in FMFs will be reviewed, including fiber design and characteristics, as well as the wide applications. We firstly review some types of FMFs such as elliptical-core FMF for MIMO-less data transmission, polarization-maintaining FMF composed of a central circular-hole and an elliptical-ring core, polarization -maintaining PANDA ring-core FMF (PM-PRCF), low-loss ring-core FMF and FMF with supermodes. Then, we propose several novel FMFs such as a graded index FMF with Low loss and low mode crosstalk, ring core FMF with supermodes, multi-core FMF with supermodes. Finally, we demonstrate an optical transmission system based on FMF for the front-haul transmission. | |
