Abstract

We present a sophisticated simulation framework for few-mode fiber based space division multiplexing (SDM) transmission systems supporting the characterization of the interplay between linear and nonlinear fiber effects, and design of key components such as optical amplifiers. We demonstrate its capabilities by discussing applications related to doped and un-doped multimode fiber design, linear and Kerr-induced mode coupling, and effective means for digital equalization at the receiver side.
