    I totally get how this would be useful in imaging systems, but I’m not understanding how it applies to communications.

    The only thing I can think is perhaps carrying more modes through a multimode fiber? I never understood amplifier bandwidth to be a limiting factor, though.

    What communications systems use a wide bandwidth of light (300nm is a LOT) into a single amplifier?
