Impact of Laser Phase Noise on the Performance of Data Transmission Over MMF Using Spatial Multiplex
07 April 2011
Data transmission over multi-mode fibers (MMF) has the potential to boost the capacity limit of single-mode fibers (SMF) by exploiting the spatial dimension. The utilization of different modes or mode groups of an MMF by different transmit signals and separation by optical mode filtering in conjunction with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processing at the receive side is under investigation for several years [1-8].
