Impact and Mitigation of Mode-Dependent Gain in Ultra-Long-Haul SDM Systems

Impact and Mitigation of Mode-Dependent Gain in Ultra-Long-Haul SDM Systems

The effect of mode-dependent gain in ultra-long-haul optical SDM systems with coupled channels is reviewed. Simulation results indicate stringent MDG requirements for future SDM amplifiers. Challenges in MDG estimation are also addressed.
