Long-haul intermodal-MIMO-free MDM transmission based on a weakly coupled multiple-ring-core few-mode fiber

Mingqing Zuo et al.

Summary: This paper proposes an intermodal-MIMO-free MDM transmission scheme based on weakly coupled multiple-ring-core FMF, which achieves long-haul FMF transmission by reducing intermodal crosstalk. The feasibility of the scheme is verified through simulations and experiments, providing possibilities for practical applications of long-haul MDM techniques.

High-gain integrated in-line few-mode amplifier enabling 3840-km long-haul transmission

Tax Xu et al.

Summary: This article presents an integrated few-mode erbium-doped fiber amplifier (FM-EDFA) with high modal gain for in-line amplification in mode-division multiplexing transmission systems. The FM-EDFA has a similar structure and performance to commercial single-mode EDFAs and achieves high modal gain, low differential modal gain, and noise figures simultaneously. Additionally, the article demonstrates the use of the proposed FM-EDFA for in-line few-mode amplification in a transmission experiment.

Six-mode extended L-band EDFA with a low differential modal gain

Q. Qiu et al.

Summary: This study reports a numerical investigation on a trench-assisted few-mode erbium-doped fiber amplifier supporting 6 spatial modes with very low differential modal gain. The results show that a mode hybrid core pumped architecture can effectively reduce the differential modal gain to as low as 0.28 dB, indicating great potential for decreasing the differential modal gain.
