Pb/s, homogeneous, single-mode, multi-core fiber systems [Invited]

We discuss multi Pb/s transmission using homogeneous, single-mode, multi-core fibers. We outline the key components of a recent high capacity demonstration, the consequences of fiber properties and the potential for enhanced efficiency from spatial-super-channel transmission.
