Space-division multiplexing allows scaling the per-fiber capacity beyond the nonlinear Shannon limit of legacy single-mode fibers.
We present results of long distance space-division multiplexed multiple-input multiple-output transmission experiments in novel fibers supporting 6 spatial- and polarization modes.
We experimentally demonstrate transmission over a novel multicore fiber with 9 cores arranged in 3 groups of 3 cores, where strong coupling occurs within the groups and weak couplings between group
We experimentally demonstrate multiple-input-multiple-output transmission of a combined 3-space-, and 2-polarization-, and 5-wavelength-division multiplex in a 3-core microstructured fiber over 420
We experimentally demonstrate space-division multiplexed transmission of 6 polarization- and space channels in a 3-core microstructured fiber over a distance of 4200 km.
We demonstrate the transmission of 6 independent, spatially multiplexed 14-Gb/s QPSK signals over 10 km of three-mode fiber using mode-selective excitation and 6 x 6 MIMO processing..
We demonstrate a silicon photonic integrated circuit for selectively coupling to and for all-optically demultiplexing the six spatial and polarization modes of few-mode fiber (FMF).

We summarize the latest advances in space-division multiplexing (SDM) for increasing the capacity per fiber strand.
Optical communication over fiber networks are the backbone of our current communication infrastructure..
