Hollow Core Photonic Bandgap fibers for Telecommunications: Opportunities and Potential Issues (original) (raw)

Abstract

The continuing exponential rise in demand for communications bandwidth provides a pressing need to find new solutions for increasing the overall capacity of optical fiber links. Coherent systems based on conventional fiber technology are already operating close to fundamental capacity and fiber loss limits. Consequently, radical new solutions including various forms of spatial division multiplexing (SDM) are currently under heavy investigation.
