• MCF has 12 single-mode, and two few-mode cores supporting LP01 and LP11 propagation
• SM cores: step-index with mode-field diameter (MFD) of 9 µm at 1550 nm
• FM cores: graded index, MFD of LP01 mode is 14 µm at 1550 nm
• Pitch spacing: 45 µm
• 12 cores × [386×91.54 + 384×102.66 ] + 2 cores × 354×213.1 Gb/s = 1.048 Pb/s
• Total bandwidth from 1526.22 nm to 1611.38 nm: 10.38 THz
• “Equivalent” Spectral Efficiency: ~ 110 b/s/Hz.
