First Transmission of a 12D Format Across Three Coupled Spatial Modes of a 3-Core Coupled-Core Fiber at 4 bits/s/Hz
08 March 2020
We demonstrate the first transmission of a space-division multiplexed 12D modulation format over a three-core coupled-core multicore fiber. The format occupies a single time slot spread across all three linearly-coupled spatial modes and shows improvements in MI and GMI after transmission compared to PDM-QPSK.
