Abstract
A successful transmission of 14 multiplexed orbital angular momentum (OAM) channels each carrying 80 wavelengths over a 100-km single-span ring-core fiber (RCF) is experimentally demonstrated. Each transmission channel is modulated by a 20-GBaud quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) signal, achieving a record spectral-efficiency-distance product of 1870 (bit/s/Hz)·km for the single-core RCF based mode division multiplexing (MDM) transmissions. In addition, only low-complexity 2×2 or 4×4 multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) equalization with time-domain equalization tap number no more than 25 is required to deal with the crosstalk among the highly degenerate intra-MG modes at the receiving end of the demonstrated OAM-MDM-WDM system, showing great potential in large-capacity and relatively long-distance MDM transmission with low digital signal processing (DSP) complexity.
