Abstract
In this work, we have successfully transmitted 80 Gbps data-rate through multimode fibre employing soliton based OAM multiplexing technique. The utilisation of soliton helps in distortion free pulse transmission through the fibre, which results in significant enhancement in transmission length. We have achieved a transmission length of 640 m using OAM Sech pulse; on the other hand the feasible transmission length is 55 m in case of the normal OAM modes. The power penalty is also restricted within 2 dB for OAM Sech pulse based WDM technique, which is about 5.2 dB for normal OAM-based WDM technique at bit error rate value ~ 10−9. Sufficient low power penalty, BER value, high Q-factor with open eye diagrams displayed the feasibility of the proposed system.
