Optical Fiber Multiplexing and Emerging Techniques: SDM and OAM (Iop Concise Physics Electromagnetics and Metamaterials)

This book begins with the history and fundamentals of optical fiber communications. Then, briefly introduces existing optical multiplexing techniques and finally focuses on spatial domain multiplexing (SDM), aka space division multiplexing, and orbital angular momentum of photon based multiplexing. These are two emerging multiplexing techniques that have added two new degrees of photon freedom to optical fibers.
