REVIEW PAPER
Introduction
1E
1.
The capacity of the optical communication infrastructure in backbone networks has increased 1000-fold over the last 20 years. Despite this rapid
progress, internet trafc is continuing to grow at an annual rate of 40%. This means that in 20 years, we will need petabit/s or even exabit/s optical
communication. In this paper, we present recent challenges and efforts toward achieving a hardware paradigm shift to overcome the capacity
limitation imposed by the current optical communication infrastructure. We will overview the latest advances on the three multi technologies, i.e.,
multi-level transmission with ultrahigh spectral efciency, space division multiplexing in multi-core bers, and mode division multiplexing with
multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO). 2014 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
