Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)

This thesis explores the potential of multi-core concentric fibers, particularly few-mode fibers, for achieving higher data rates in future communication systems. The research focuses on analyzing the design parameters of these fibers, including core diameter, wavelength, and refractive index profile, to optimize their performance in terms of modal dispersion, crosstalk, and other relevant factors. The objective is to demonstrate the feasibility of employing space-division multiplexing (SDM) techniques with these fibers to enhance bandwidth and meet the growing demands for high-speed data transmission.
