Multicore fiber (MCF) refers to an optical fiber that contains multiple cores or light guiding cores within a single strand of optical fiber. It’s designed to offer higher bandwidth capacity compared to traditional single-core optical fibers, enabling the transmission of more signals simultaneously over optical fiber.

2024年6月12日 · Based on the design concept of Space Division Multiplexing (SDM), Multicore Optical Fiber is a type of fiber that consists of multiple cores within a single strand of fiber. Each core operates independently, allowing multiple data streams to be transmitted simultaneously through the single fiber.

We introduce a new, to the best of our knowledge, type of multicore optical fiber having a quantum-inspired network topology and unique spectral features. Particularly, the connectivity between the cores is generated by unfolding a circular array of coupled quantum oscillators in Fock space. We show that in such a fiber geometry, the eigenvalues of the optical supermodes exhibit partial ...
