Orbital angular momentum mode multiplexed transmission in heterogeneous few-mode and multi-mode fiber network
Abstract:
Mode-division multiplexing (MDM), which employs the spatial modes of light as information carriers, has been widely investigated to increase the transmission capacity. Few-mode fibers (FMFs) and multi-mode fibers (MMFs) have been used for MDM fiber transmission. One of the MDM techniques known as twisted light multiplexing using orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes has recently attracted increasing interest. In this Letter, by splicing two FMFs together with a conventional OM3 MMF, we propose and demonstrate OAM-based MDM in a heterogeneous fiber-optic network, i.e., two OAM mode (OAM01 and OAM-11) multiplexing transmission in the heterogeneous FMFs and MMF network. We transmit 20-Gbit/s quadrature phase shift keying signals over two OAM modes in different mode groups without multiple-input multiple-output equalization techniques and achieve less than 2.8 dB optical signal-to-noise ratio penalties at a bit-error rate of 2×10-3. The experimental results show favorable transmission performance of OAM-based MDM in heterogeneous FMFs and MMF network compared to the one in FMF.

What is a Mode?
There can be more than one mode in a data set if multiple values have the same highest frequency. For instance, suppose that the Statistics exam scores of 20 students are: 50; 53; 59; 59; 63; 63; 72; 72; 72; 72; 72; 76; 78; 81; 83; 84; 84; 84; 90; 93. Here, the mode is 72, as it occurs most frequently, five times.
A data set with two modes is called bimodal. For example,...

There are three ventilatory modes: full support, partial support, and spontaneous. These are described below.
Full Support Modes
Full support modes include controlled mechanical ventilation, continuous mandatory...

MOSFET: Enhancement Mode
In their basic form, enhancement-mode MOSFETs are typically non-conductive when the gate-source voltage (Vgs) is zero. This default 'off' state means no...
Modes of Operations of BJT
Active Mode: The most common mode for amplification, the active mode features a forward-biased emitter-base junction and a reverse-biased base-collector junction. This setup enables electrons to be injected from the emitter to the base while blocking the majority carriers at the collector. The...
