Experimental evaluation of the time and frequency crosstalk dependency in a 7-core multi-core fiber

We experimentally evaluate the time-varying crosstalk frequency response of a multicore fiber. Our findings suggest that dynamically adaptive transmission would be able to exploit this behavior, to improve the performance of crosstalk-limited links.
