We review progress on high-capacity multi-core fiber systems based on homogeneous, single
mode MCF and focus on the limits of high capacity transmission. We discuss issues of inter…

In order to transition multi-core fiber (MCF) technologies from their research state to volume
production, the key design specifications have to be broadly agreed upon, first and foremost …

… Similarly, while feasible, the need to switch the entire capacity of multi-core fibers is not
likely for the early generations of high-capacity multi-core fiber systems. Consequently, for the …

To achieve the minimum cladding diameter (CD) at fixed cladding thickness (35 μm) in the
trench-assisted (TA) homogeneous multicore fibers (MCFs), five different core structures have …

12-Core 5-LP mode homogeneous multicore fibers have been proposed for analysis of inter-core
crosstalk and dispersion, with four different lattice structures (circular, 2-ring, square …

For the first time, the discrete changes model has been explored for crosstalk estimation
under the bidirectional propagation condition. Crosstalk characterization in homogeneous …
