Verification Of Transmission Parameters Of Multicore Optical Fiber

Abstract

With the ever-increasing demands on the transmission parameters of telecommunicationoptical systems, such as transmission capacity, new challenges arise for scientists to meet these requirements.One of the possible solutions to increase the transmission capacity of telecommunicationnetworks is the multicore optical fiber, which is the current trend in modern space division multiplex.First and second chapters of the article deal with the modern concept of space division multiplex.A selected seven-core optical fiber was tested for insertion loss, attenuation, length for individualcores, and fiber continuity using the direct and backscattering method. The achieved results of theperformed measurements are summarized and commented in the third chapter of the article.
