Abstract :
A mode-unbundled ROADM, composed of fiber-based mode-mux/demux and a multi-port MEMS switch, is proposed for MDM networks. The experimental demonstration was performed in single- and two-node configurations, for uni- and bi-directionally mode assigned QPSK and 16-QAM signals, without MIMO DSP.
