Roland.Ryf@ Abstract: We transmit 32 WDM channels over 12 spatial and polarization modes of 177 km few-mode fiber at a record spectral efficiency of 32 bit/s/Hz. The transmitted signals are strongly coupled and recovered using 12 12 multiple-input multiple-output digital signal processing. OCIS codes: 060.4510, 060.1660, 060.2280, 040.1880, 060.4230. 1. Introduction Increasing the spectral efficiency in optical networks is key to reducing the cost per bit. While single-mode-fiber-based transmission systems are rapidly approaching their capacity limit, space-division mu
