Optical fiber capacity at its limits: From spectrally efficient modulation to spatial multiplexing

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

We will discuss the state-of-the-art in high-spectral-efficiency optical transmission systems as well as their theoretical and practical scalability limits. We will then examine spatial multiplexing as an energy- and cost-efficient method to scale beyond WDM.
