Abstract :
Space-division multiplexing (SDM) with multi-core/multi-mode fibers has potential to increase the transmission capacity drastically. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of trans-oceanic transmission towards beyond 100 Tbit/s using multi-core fibers. Experimental results using 7-core fibers/EDFAs are also presented.
