Two Mode Transmission at 2x100Gb/s, over 40km-long Prototype Few-Mode Fiber, using LCOS based programmable Mode Multiplexer and Demultiplexer
15 August 2011
We transmit two 100Gb/s PDM-QPSK data streams over two different modes of a 40km-long prototype few-mode fiber. Our experiment is performed with a mode multiplexer and demultiplexer based on a programmable liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) panel and a 4x4 MIMO algorithm in a coherent receiver. ©2011 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (060.2330) Fiber optics communications ; (060.1660) Coherent communications
