The document discusses different types of mode selective devices that can be used for mode multiplexing over few-mode fiber. Free-space based devices are bulky while fiber based devices are more compact and easier to integrate. Early demonstrations transmitted data over 107 Gb/s using the LP01 and LP11 fiber modes and 58.8 Gb/s using dual modes with electronic MIMO processing for mode separation. Mode selective devices can be categorized as either free-space based or fiber based, with fiber based being preferable due to their compact size and integration capabilities.
