Abstract
An optical communication system comprising an optical link comprising an optical fiber, a first network element coupled to a first end of the optical link and a second network element coupled to a second end of the optical link. The first network element is configured to generate a first optical signal for transmission to the second network element, the first optical signal having a first propagation mode corresponding to a first guided mode of the optical fiber. The second network element is configured to generate a second optical signal for transmission to the first network element, the second optical signal having a second propagation mode, different to the first propagation mode, corresponding to a second guided mode of the optical fiber.
