Design of Highly Elliptical Core Ten-Mode Fiber for Space Division Multiplexing With 2 × 2 MIMO

In this paper, we propose a weakly coupled few-mode fiber requiring only 2 × 2 multi-in multi-out equalizer blocks, which makes it compatible with standard coherent receivers with polarization diversity. The fiber has a highly elliptical core, surrounded by a depressed index trench in the...
