Mode group diversity multiplexing for multi-service in-house networks using multi-mode Polymer Optical Fibre

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

By selectively launching and detecting separate mode groups in a highly multimode (polymer) optical fibre, its transport capacity can be increased and a number of broadband services can be carried independently in a single network infrastructure. The statistically varying mode-mixing incurred during transport is counteracted by adaptive electrical signal processing at the network terminals. Using cheap electrical signal processors and arrayed VCSELs and photodetectors, this so-called mode group diversity multiplexing method can offer the same functionality as wavelength multiplexing at lower costs, and provides a new extra dimension for optical multiplexing. First experiments suggest the technical feasibility of the concept.
