“…The last unused demission of space has been explored in many literatures [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. The space-division multiplexing (SDM) can be realized in two ways by using MCF [9][10][11][12] and few-mode fiber (FMF) [12][13][14].…”

We investigate capital expenditure (CapEx) advantages of multi-core fiber (MCF) networks by modeling and solving CapEx-minimized planning problem. Integer linear programming model is established, and numerical results are calculated and analyzed. We conduct the solving process under two kinds of traffic patterns of light traffic and heavy traffic. The influences of inter-core crosstalk on MCF and its multi-input multi-output (MIMO)-based crosstalk suppression are also evaluated. Numerical results show that when inter-core crosstalk in MCF is not considered, MCF networks have CapEx advantages under both given traffic patterns by using mixed MCF&SCF deployment strategy, despite the variation in MCF optical amplifier's price whose cost takes the largest share of the total network CapEx. However, when the inter-core crosstalk in MCF is taken into consideration, the costs of networks using MCF go higher than those of single-core fiber (SCF) networks. With the help of MIMObased inter-core crosstalk suppression, the negative impact of inter-core crosstalk can be mitigated, and MCF can still show its CapEx advantages when the traffic load is heavy.

“…The space-division multiplexing (SDM) can be realized in two ways by using MCF [9][10][11][12] and few-mode fiber (FMF) [12][13][14]. MCF has several cores embedded in the fiber cladding and each core can act as a SCF.…”

“…Multicore Fibers (MCFs), invented three decades ago [1], have been recently the subject of considerable attention and research [2][3][4][5][6][7] as they enable the increase in the transmission capacity of optical fiber links by spatial division multiplexing (SDM). Reported research has mainly addressed digital transmission systems in several contexts as long haul transmission [2], combined polarization, wavelength and spatial multiplexing domains [3][4][5][6] and passive optical networks (PONs) [7].…”
