Abstract-The 2-µm wave band is emerging as a potential new window for optical telecommunications with several distinct advantages over the traditional 1.55µm region. First of all, the Hollow-Core Photonic Band Gap Fiber (HC-PBGF) is an emerging transmission fiber candidate with ultra-low nonlinearity and lowest latency (0.3% slower than light propagating in vacuum) that has its minimum loss within the 2-µm wavelength band. Secondly, the Thulium-doped fiber amplifier that operates in this spectral region provides significantly more bandwidth than the Erbium-doped fiber amplifier. In this paper we demonstrate a single-channel 2-µm transmitter capable of delivering >52 Gbit/s data signals, which is twice the capacity previously-demonstrated. To achieve this we employ discrete multi-tone (DMT) modulation via direct current modulation of a Fabry-Perot semiconductor laser. The 4.4-GHz modulation bandwidth of the laser is enhanced by optical injection locking, providing up to 11 GHz modulation bandwidth. Transmission over 500-m and 3.8-km samples of HC-PBGF is demonstrated.

“…5 Few-mode multicore fiber MDM over FMF is another candidate for SDM. A largecapacity MDM transmission experiment of 72.7 Tb/s, which is close to the maximum record of 102.3 Tb/s on a single-core SMF [73], has been demonstrated [74]. Many types of FMFs have been proposed to increase the number of modes, to optimize mode-coupling, and to reduce differential mode group delay (DMD) [75][76][77][78][79].…”

Abstract:We experience Internet traffic growth of 100 times every 10 years. However, the capacity of existing standard single-mode fiber is approaching its fundamental limit regardless of significant realization of transmission technologies which allow for high spectral efficiencies. Space division multiplexing (SDM) based on multicore fibers (MCFs) has emerged as a solution to the problem of saturation of the capacity of optical transmission systems. This article presents the recent progress on the MCFs for future large capacity long-distance transmission systems. In MCFs, there is a tradeoff relationship between low crosstalk and high multiplicity, therefore the maximum number of cores and the core arrangement have to be carefully determined based on the required crosstalk level and core size. The state-of-the-art of fabricated MCFs and the transmission experiments using MCFs are reviewed. The current maximum capacity-distance product in MCF transmission is 368.2 (184.1+184.1) Pb/s/fiber km with the relative spatial efficiency of 4.7 compared with a standard single-mode fiber. In order to increase the spatial efficiency as well as the capacity-distance product further in MCFs, the possibility of heterogeneous MCFs and few-mode MCFs is also presented.

SUMMARYThe potential transmission capacity of a standard single-mode fiber peaks at around 100 Tb/s owing to fiber nonlinearity and the bandwidth limitation of amplifiers. As the last frontier of multiplexing, space-division multiplexing (SDM) has been studied intensively in recent years. Although there is still time to deploy such a novel fiber communication infrastructure; basic research on SDM has been carried out. Therefore, a comprehensive review is worthwhile at this time toward further practical investigations.
