NEC and NTT test 12-core fiber over long-haul links

 NEC and NTT completed a transoceanic-class 7,280km transmission experiment using a coupled 12-core multicore fiber, which consists of 12 optical signal transmission paths in a standard outer diameter optical fiber (0.125 mm). MIMO technology, which is crucial for separating interfering radio signals, has been limited in optical communications to handling just two-polarization multiplexed signals due to the complexity of signal processing....
