Capacity Enhancement of Few-Mode Fiber Transmission Systems Impaired by Mode-Dependent Loss

Space-division multiplexing over few-mode fibers is a promising solution to increase the capacity of the future generation of optical transmission systems. Mode-dependent loss (MDL) is known to have a detrimental impact on the capacity of few-mode fiber systems. In the presence of MDL, spatial modes...
