Abstract
Mode group diversity multiplexing enables to carry a number of signals independently in a multimode fibre network, by deploying separate mode groups in parallel. Its functionality is similar to wavelength multiplexing, but relatively expensive wavelength-selective devices are not needed; these can be replaced by lower-cost parallel nonwavelength-specific devices and electronic signal processing circuitry. Well-chosen selective launching of the mode groups is needed, and for this both theoretical and experimental investigations have been carried out. First results show that multiplexing of about four different signal streams is feasible, providing the foundation for a lowcost
service-integrated in-house optical network.
