Few-Mode Elliptical-Core Fiber Data Transmission
Spatial mode-division-multiplexing is seen as paramount to overcoming the bandwidth limitations of single-mode fiber. In this letter, spatial-multiplexing of polarization-maintaining, elliptical-core fiber is proposed using asymmetric Y-junctions. Asymmetric Y-junctions also allow for straightforward wavelength- and polarization-multiplexing. Numerical

Mode Field Diameter Definitions for Few-Mode Fibers Based on Spot Size of Higher-Order Gaussian Mode
The spot size at which the electric field distribution for higher-order modes in few-mode fibers (FMFs) is approximated by a higher-order Gaussian profile is a promising parameter for estimating various transmission characteristics.

Mid-infrared generation beyond 3.5 µm in a graded-index silica fiber [PDF]
We present theoretical as well as experimental evidence of far-detuned nonlinear wavelength conversion towards the mid-infrared, namely beyond 3.5 µm, in a few-mode graded-index silica fiber pumped at 1.064 µm.

Measurement of Principal Modes in Few-Mode Fibers by S2 Method
Using principal modes (PMs) can avoid the inter-mode crosstalk in fiber-optic communication and reduce the complexity of digital signal processing. In this paper, a new detection method for PMs based on spatially and spectrally resolved imaging (S2) is ...

Block-Based Mode Decomposition in Few-Mode Fibers
A block-based mode decomposition (BMD) algorithm is proposed in this paper, which reduces computational complexity and enhances noise resistance. The BMD uses randomly selected sample blocks of the beam images to restore mode coefficients instead of all ...

Mode division multiplexing using an orbital angular momentum mode sorter and MIMO-DSP over a graded-index few-mode optical fibre [PDF]
Mode division multiplexing (MDM)– using a multimode optical fiber’s N spatial modes as data channels to transmit N independent data streams – has received interest as it can potentially increase optical fiber data transmission capacity N-times with ...

Long distance transmission in few-mode fibers
Using multimode fibers for long-haul transmission is proposed and demonstrated experimentally. In particular few-mode fibers (FMFs) are demonstrated as a good compromise since they are sufficiently resistant to mode coupling compared to standard multimode fibers but they still can have large core diameters compared to single-mode fibers.
