Multi-core optical fibers realizing high-density/-capacity transmissions

This talk will review the design factors related to the optical/mechanical characteristics of multi-core fibers, and our recently proposed 125¼m-cladding multi-core fibers for short-reach high-density transmissions and ultra-long-haul high-capacity transmissions.
