Optical Fiber Multiplexing and Emerging Techniques

Starting with the history and fundamentals of optical fiber communications, Optical Fiber Multiplexing and Emerging Techniques introduces existing optical multiplexing techniques, and it focuses on the spatial domain multiplexing (SDM) and orbital angular momentum (OAM) of photon-based multiplexing. These two emerging multiplexing techniques have added new degrees of photon freedom to optical fibers.
