Theoretical Investigation of the Capacity of Space Division Multiplexing with Multimode Step-Index Air-Clad Silica Optical Fibers
We studied the effect of mode coupling on the space division multiplexing (SDM) capabilities of multimode step-index (SI) air-clad silica optical fibers by numerically solving the power flow equation. Mode coupling considerably reduces the length of these fibers at which space division multiplexing...
