Abstract
In this paper, we have proposed a MIMO (Multi input multi output) MDM (Mode division multiplexed) system for transmission of 9 independent signals over 9 different modes through MMF (multimode fiber) link. The performance of 4×4, 6×6 and 9×9 MDM systems has been investigated for different LPlm (linearly polarized) modes such as LP01, LP02, LP11, LP12, LP03, LP04, LP13, LP21 and LP22. The obtained results reported that LP01, LP02, LP11 and LP12 modes provide better results for all MIMO configurations and covers 90 km of transmission distance with acceptable Q2 factor (>8 dB) and bit error rate (<10−9) over MMF link..
