[IP3-01(Invited)] High-capacity Optical Networks Based on Spatial-Division Multiplexing Technologies

*Hideaki Furukawa¹ (1. National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, Japan)

Spatial division multiplexing technologies have been much focused on to extend the capacity limit of conventional optical networks. We present developed high-capacity optical transmission and switching technologies with multi-core/multi-mode fibers to realize Petabit-class optical networks.
