Abstract:
We analyze the impact of mode-dependent loss (MDL) on the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in coupled-core multi-core fiber transmissions, including its interplay with spatial mode dispersion (SMD) and fiber nonlinearities. We find different SNR statistics in linear and nonlinear regimes depending on the amount of SMD.
