The crosstalk (XT) noise-to-signal ratio characteristics in a distributed Raman amplifier (DRA) used for bi-directional multi-core fiber (MCF) transmission are investigated. We propose a model for …
We propose a multi-core fiber (MCF) containing a low-latency core as a transmission line for master-slave carrier phase estimation (MS-CPE). To utilize a low-latency signal as a master channel, we …
We numerically reveal the feasibility of designing multi-core fibers (MCFs) with the simple step-index (SI) profile within the standard 125- μ m cladding diameter. We show that the standard claddi…
In this work, we propose design parameters for optimized high-density optical cables to control the spatial-mode dispersion (SMD) of randomly coupled multi-core fibers (MCF). The analytical results…
A randomly coupled 12-core erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) operating in the C- or L-band is investigated. We experimentally demonstrate that both C and L-band operation can be supported with th…
