Abstract-We investigate the impact of intercore crosstalk in a 7-core fiber on signal to noise ratio and achievable information rates for PDM-QPSK, PDM-16QAM, and PDM-64QAM formats. The achievable rate is reduced by 8%, 5.4% and 1.5%, at a crosstalk of -25.6dB/100km respectively
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
