TL;DR: In this paper, a 1 Tb/s superchannel configuration achieved by closer than standard 50 GHz placement of Nyquist filtered wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) channels is envisioned, and an increase in symbol rate of each subcarrier in a superchannel is desired to reduce the number of components per Tb /s and, consequently, overall cost.

TL;DR: In this paper, a photonic integrated mode coupler based on silicon-on-insulator (SoI) technology is proposed for coupling between an SoI chip and an FMF, guiding LP01 and LP11 modes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted several high capacity experiments with tier-1 operator Orange using their field deployed standard single mode fiber (SSMF, G.652), having a total length of 762 km, connecting the cities Lyon and Marseille in France.

TL;DR: Based on a three-surface prism, a free space design of the three-spot mode coupler, supporting LP01 and LP11 modes, is introduced in this paper, where the authors demonstrate 7.68 Tbit/s transmission of three mode division multiplexing (MDM) × 8 wavelength division multiple Xing (WDM), × 320-Gb/s dual-polarization (DP)-32QAM over a 120 km differential-group-delay (DGD)-compensated few-mode fiber (FMF) by employing the proposed spot coupl

TL;DR: Results indicate that incoherent modulation can fulfill important requirements of networks operators, namely increased bit rate and increased splitting ratio, and provide a cost-effective solution for Next-Generation Optical Access Networks.
