We investigate a high-capacity, space-division-multiplexed (SDM) transmission system using self-homodyne detection (SHD) in multi-core fiber (MCF). We first investigate SHD phase noise cancellation with both kHz and MHz range linewidths for both quadrature-phase shift-keyed (QPSK) and 16 quadrature-amplitude modulation...

We demonstrate an athermal and electrostatically-tunable 850 nm-band MEMS VCSEL for the first time. The thermal wavelength drift is compensated by the thermal actuation of a cantilever-suspended mirror with a bimorph effect. At the same time, the resonant wavelength...
