Ultra-high capacity transmission with few-mode silica and hollow-core photonic bandgap fibers

We review the capacity records achieved using mode-division multiplexing in few-mode fiber and hollow-core photonic bandgap fibers. Currently the MDM-capacity record for both fiber types is 73.7 Tb/s, whereas per wavelength 960 Gb/s is achieved.
