Abstract

In this seminar, we will briefly overview the recent progress on optical transmission technologies and describe the challenges and enabling for 100-Gb/s & beyond coherent systems including a new class of optical transmission fibers. Then we will discuss the next frontier in optical network capacity scaling: the spatial multiplexing. The performance of state-of-the-art multicore and few-mode fibers, as well as multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques for space-division-multiplexing (SDM) transmissions will be presented.  Finally, the integration challenges for SDM systems will be outlined.
