研究目的
Investigating the reduction or avoidance of MIMO complexity through the design of few mode optical fibers for mode division multiplexing, focusing on high index contrast fibers that favor vector modes over scalar modes.
研究成果
The paper concludes that proper design of few mode optical fibers can reduce or avoid MIMO complexity in mode division multiplexing systems. High index contrast fibers that favor vector modes over scalar modes are particularly effective, as demonstrated by successful kilometer scale data propagation and compatibility with commercial transceivers.
研究不足
The study focuses on high index contrast fibers and vector modes, which may not be applicable to all types of optical fibers or modes. The practical implementation of these designs in existing optical networks may require further research and development.
