TL;DR
This paper experimentally investigates how inter-core crosstalk affects high-speed 56-Gbaud PAM-4 signal quality in multicore fibers, highlighting the wavelength dependence of crosstalk in weakly-coupled seven-core fibers over 2.5 km.
Contribution
It provides new experimental insights into the wavelength-dependent impact of inter-core crosstalk on high-speed data transmission in multicore fibers.
Findings
Crosstalk varies with wavelength in the 1540-1560 nm range.
Crosstalk significantly degrades signal quality after 2.5 km.
Impact differs between weakly-coupled and uncoupled fibers.
Abstract
We experimentally demonstrate the impact of inter-core crosstalk in multicore fibers on 56Gbaud PAM-4 signal quality after 2.5-km transmission over a weakly-coupled and uncoupled sevencore fibers, revealing the crosstalk dependence on carrier central wavelength in range of 1540-1560 nm.
