9. Why Few-mode Fiber or Two-mode Fiber?
[Hij]
Tx1 Rx1 In theory, for N-mode fibers, if we have N
transmitters and N receivers, we only need
Tx2 Rx2 compute NxN H matrix and perform the
matrix inversion H-1. Complexity of H-1
TxN RxN scales faster than N2
Complex optical design & electronic DSP design.
It is sensible to start with the two mode fiber (TMF).
TMF fiber contains three spatial modes including LP01 mode and two
degenerate LP11 modes.

B.Y. Kim, et al., Opt. Lett., 12, 729 (1987)
Nevertheless, this still leads to 3 times bandwidth of a SMF fiber.
10. Some Scenarios of Mode Multiplexed Systems
(1) Short-reach or interconnect
High differential-mode-delay (DMD)
low mode crosstalk, optical demulitpelxing

mode fiber with mode coupler’, OFC’2011, Paper TWA4.
(2) Long-reach
Low DGD, high mode crosstalk, electronic demulitpelxing
(3) Higher-order constellation such as 16-QAM and beyond
Electronic demulitpelxing

energy efficiency
25. Spatial Mode Multiplexing: a Promise or a Curse?
•Will the system be too complex and never be practical?
•Need to be mindful of DSP complexity for MIMO processing
• Electronics is getting better, but not a
panacea; Could be energy-hog.
26. Conclusion
• Spatial mode division multiplexing (SMDM) has
recently been demonstrated to be an additional
degree of freedom for achieving ultrahigh capacity
beyond that of SSMF fiber.
• Should be always mindful of complexity involved
when proposing devices and subsystems for SMDM
based systems.
• But FMF or SMDM is a fertile ground for innovation.
