We propose and experimentally demonstrate symmetrical (homo-modal) and asymmetrical (hetero-modal) full-duplex bi-directional architectures based on dual-vector eigenmodes multiplexing over a 3 km few mode fiber (FMF). Firstly, 4 vector modes (VMs) of 2 mode groups (MGs), l = 0 (HE_11o and HE_11e modes) and l = +2 (EH_11o and EH_11e modes), each carrying a 14 GBaud quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) signal, are utilized in the up and down links and a 224 Gb/s same-mode bi-directional transmission is successfully realized. The crosstalk between the VMs in l = 0 and l = +2 of this full-duplex system is less than −13.8 dB. To strengthen the immunity to performance degradation induced by connector reflection and back scattering, we propose an effective approach to mitigate impairments by using hetero-modes on two terminals of the bi-directional system. Then, 2 VMs of l = 0 and 2 …
