EDFA Design and Analysis for WDM Optical Systems Based on Modal Multiplexing

Abstract Modal multiplexing (MDM) is a core technology to allow a capacity increase in modern optical systems. However, in MDM links, the amplified WDM signal suffers not only from lack of spectral gain equalization but also from unequal modal gain. The proper design of the MDM-EDFA is crucial to pr...
