We present a preliminary investigation of system performance in the context of fewmode fiber propagation, focusing on the impact of discrete mode coupling, while varying key parameters, such as the differential mode group delay (DMGD), and employing (or not) source separation by MIMO signal processing.

We present a numerical investigation for the use of semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA) as broadband amplifiers in a context of quasi-Nyquist WDM long-haul transmission using PDM-QPSK, 8-QAM and 16-QAM modulation formats. The SOAs nonlinear behavior is assessed for each format considering different numbers of channels and cumulative dispersion.
