Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of communication optical fibers, and in particular relates to a low-crosstalk weak-coupling space-division multiplexing optical fiber. Background technique [0002] At present, the spectral efficiency of DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing, DWDM) used in single-mode optical fiber in optical communication networks is approaching its theoretical limit, and the performance of optical fiber will be limited by nonlinear effects. For the work that breaks through the capacity limit, the multi-ary modulation technology in the amplitude and phase dimensions of the optical signal is more researched. However, in practical systems, higher optical signal-to-noise ratios and lower nonlinear effects are necessary to ensure smooth reception at the receiving end after the optical signal modulation order is increased. Therefore, the improvement of optical fiber transmission capacity by increasing the optical signal ...
