This project embraces the investigation of enabled optical networks based on spatial division multiplexing (SDM) for optical backhaul in 5G network infrastructure and data center connectivity. The SDM analysis is going to comprise the investigation of very high capacity optical systems supported by multicore (MCF) and few-mode fibers (FMF), complemented by optical free-space connections.

Entidades nacionais envolvidas: Instituto de Telecomunicações

Duração do projeto: 2 anos, julho de 2016 a dezembro de 2018
