Space-division multiplexing is becoming a new frontier in optical communication. This tutorial will start with the motivation for SDM, followed by a general description of the channel characteristics of the few-mode fiber and the necessity of multiple-input-multiple-output equalization. Then, we will discuss enable passive and active technologies that can make SDM practical. Article not available.
