Abstract:Single-mode fibers have traditionally been the choice for medium and long haul optical links over the past two decades, with wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) offering large amounts of bandwidth. However, the recent growth in demand for bandwidth has necessitated a further expansion of optical fiber capacity. This has prompted the development of new solutions, ranging from new fiber media to digital signal processing (DSP) techniques to enhance data rates. In this paper, we briefly review some of these ne… Show more
