Optical communications have to-date been able to fulfil the ever-growing data demand whilst simultaneously reducing cost and energy-per bit. However, it is now recognised that systems are rapidly approaching the fundamental information capacity of current transmission technologies, a trend with potential negative impact on the economy and social progress. To meet future demands with prospective cost and energy savings and avoid the impending exhaust of fibre capacity, the only solution is the emergent technology of spatial division multiplexing (SDM). It provides much wider conduits of information by offering additional means for transporting channels over one single fibre, using multi-mode and multi-core fibres. This talk reviews the latest approaches to access this much higher information capacity.
