Abstract

In this paper we present a review focused on Space Division Multiplexing (SDM) technology. A summary of the most recent works on innovation in the efficiency of SDM as well as its application in data transmission is described. SDM is a technology that has improved the capacity of optical communication systems. Combined with other optical technologies has significantly increased the capacity of information that is sent through an optical fiber.
