- Abstract
- All-fiber 6-mode multiplexer composed of two consecutive LP11-mode selective couplers (MSC), two LP21-MSCs and an LP02-MSC is fully characterized by wavelengthswept interferometer technique. The MSCs are fabricated by polished-type fiber couplers coupling LP01 mode of a single mode fiber into a higher-order mode of a few mode fiber. A pair of the mode multiplexers has minimum mode dependent loss of 4 dB and high mode group selectivity of over 15 dB. Mode division multiplexed transmission enabled by the allfiber mode multiplexers is demonstrated over fiber spans of 117 km employing an in-line multi-mode optical amplifier. 6 modes of 120 Gb/s dual polarization quadrature phase shift keying signals combined with 30 wavelength channels are successfully transmitted.
