High data rate few-mode transmission over graded-index single-mode fiber using 850 nm single-mode VCSEL
Abstract:
A few-mode transmission system is proposed using 850 nm single-mode VCSEL based transceivers over graded-index single-mode fibers for high data rate data center applications. A graded-index single-mode fiber that supports two mode groups at 850 nm window with a high modal bandwidth of 48.3 GHz·km is realized for the first time. 25 Gb/s transmission experiments using a 850 nm single-mode VCSEL over such fiber demonstrate that the system can support a link distance up to 1.5 km. Additionally, link model analysis provides more insights on how fiber and single-mode VCSEL parameters impact the system performance.

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,...
