On the use of high-order MIMO for crosstalk mitigation in multi-core fiber based SDM systems

We review our latest contributions towards the development of long-distance transmission systems using homogeneous single-mode multi-core fibers supported by high-order MIMO for crosstalk mitigation. These include the use of high-order MIMO to mitigate the crosstalk impact assisted by inter-core skew compensation to manage the temporal extent of the system impulse response.
