40km-Long Transmission of Five Data Streams at 100Gb/s over Five Modes

Five 100G PDM-QPSK data streams have been multiplexed, transported over 40km, demultiplexed and detected. This represents a step forward for mode multiplexing technology by increasing the number of transported mode from 3 to 5.
