Abstract

This paper reviews and extends the study of nonlinear performance of few-mode fiber links operating in all different linear coupling regimes for different mode delay maps. Nonlinear performance was estimated using the four-wave-mixing theory and the split-step Fourier method including semi-analytical solutions for linear mode coupling of arbitrary strength. The optimum link configurations minimizing the nonlinear penalty at practical levels of training sequence length are presented, including: the required coupling strength to give nonlinear distortion below that of the single-mode propagation without mode coupling, and the impact of mode delay maps. Finally, different approximate solution methods of the multimode nonlinear Schr-dinger equation are compared, highlighting the accuracy of a stochastic solution method including distributed linear mode coupling.
