Optimum capacity utilization in space-division multiplexed transmission systems with few-mode fibers

For maximum capacity utilization, all spatial channels in space-division-multiplexed systems are desired to perform equally. We present a power-optimizing strategy for a three-mode fiber, enabling maximum performance, when including intra- and intermodal nonlinear transmission effects.
