A multi-core or multi-fiber WDM system
Abstract
A multi-core or multi-fiber architecture with interleaver at the fiber input and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) demultiplexer at the fiber output is proposed. In this architecture, different channels of a WDM system are interleaved into different cores of a multi-core fiber, and therefore, the inter-channel nonlinear impairments are suppressed. It is shown that for a 39-span system, the 4-fiber or 4-core system with negligible crosstalk …
