Abstract
The possibility of using MIMO (multiple input multiple output) technique, which is well-known from radio communications, has been experimentally shown at the optical domain. A successful 2-channel transmission beyond the baseband of 4.4 km long OM2 grade 50 μm core multimode (MM) fiber has been demonstrated. Total throughput of 400 Mbit/s has been obtained. Incoherent detection of the light signals at the receiver has been used.
