The ultimate capacity of single-mode-fiber (SMF) has been shown to be limited by fiber nonlinearities. Space-Division-Multiplexing (SDM) is one of the promising approaches to further increase the capacity of fiber-based transmission system. Several techniques have been proposed on SDM in optical fibers. It would be very nice if someone shares some information about the potential applications of SDM in optical communication. Thanks in advance.
