Abstract :
We explore high-dimensional modulation for mode-division multiplexed optical fiber communication systems, focusing on optimized 24-D modulation formats in six-mode fiber transmission. Compared with conventional formats, our simulations demonstrate up to 8.7 dB span loss budget improvement for 6 b/s/Hz intra-channel spectral efficiency.
