Abstract
In mode-division-multiplexed systems using coherent detection, strong mode coupling is beneficial. Mode coupling reduces modal dispersion, minimizing signal processing complexity. In combination with modal dispersion, mode coupling creates frequency diversity, mitigating the mode-dependent gain of optical amplifiers.
