Single-mode fiber's physical capacity boundaries will soon be reached; hence, alternative
solutions are much needed to overcome the multiplying and remarkably large bandwidth …

Research on space-division multiplexing (SDM) came to prominence in early 2010 being
primarily proposed as a means of multiplying the information-carrying capacity of optical …

Space-division multiplexing (SDM) uses multiplicity of space channels to increase capacity
for optical communication. It is applicable for optical communication in both free space and …

Multicore fibers (MCFs) are expected as a good candidate for overcoming the capacity limit
of a current optical communication system. This paper describes the recent progress on the …

We use a wideband optical comb source with 10THz bandwidth for 2.15 Pb/s transmission
over 31km of a new, homogeneous 22-core single-mode multi-core fiber using 399× 25GHz …

Single-mode fibres with low loss and a large transmission bandwidth are a key enabler for
long-haul high-speed optical communication and form the backbone of our information …

Leveraging the spatial modes of multimode waveguides using mode-division multiplexing
on an integrated photonic chip allows unprecedented scaling of bandwidth density for on …

In the last three decades, light's orbital angular momentum (OAM) has been of great interest
because it has unique characteristics that make it sought after in many research fields …

In this paper, we describe recent progress in space-division multiplexed (SDM)
transmission, and our proposal and demonstration of dense space-division multiplexing …

The work described in this thesis details the development of a multicore fibre device that can
be used to optically trap multiple cells and particles. The optical trapping of multiple cells at …
