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.

“…Spatial superchannels have recently gained interest [5], [31], and their advantages for enhancing throughput [32] (per fiber) and enabling system component integration, such as replacing several single-mode amplifiers by one multi-mode amplifier [33]. Moreover, the potential of spatial superchannels to reduce the switching complexity at the link level and network level have been illustrated in [33] and [34], respectively.…”

“…Note that in this case, it is still possible to reduce the size and cost, for example by implementing multiple switches that share optical components in a similar way as realized in commercially available twin WSSs that contain two WSSs. The third approach is based on the so called "joint switching" [4]. In this case all spatial channels are routed together for each wavelength channel.…”
