Long-Haul Transmission over Multi-Core Fibers with Coupled Cores

Coupled-core multicore fibers provide significant advantages for long-haul high capacity fiber optics communication: Cores with large effective areas can be densely packed, and show a better tolerance to nonlinear effects compared to single-mode fibers with equivalent cores.
