Selective multimode excitation using volume holographic mode multiplexer.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a mode multiplexer based on volume holograms to realize a simple and efficient mode-division-multiplexed transmission system that supports a large number of modes. Selective multiexcitation of three spatial modes into a conventional multimode fiber is experimentally demonstrated. This device could potentially multiplex 10 or more modes. Future perspectives of the mode multiplexer for application in mode-division multiplexing are also discussed.

Selective Excitation of Graded-Index Multimode Fibres Resulting in Annular Near Field Patterns
A practical method, stemming from a purely theoretical analysis, for the selective excitation of multimode graded index fibres is described. The objective of such an excitation is to create annular near field patterns at the fibre output. The method uses an offset tilted beam and is intended for a mode group multiplexing system since the selective excitation of a mode group will yield a spatial...
متن کاملUsing Higher-Order Passbands of Multimode Fibre for Subcarrier Multiplexing
The frequency response of multimode optical fibre (MMF) shows the existence of passbands in the higher frequency region above the -3dB baseband. By Subcarrier Multiplexing, these passbands can be used to accommodate a number of transmission channels for different services. In this way various groups of services may be integrated in a single MMF-based in-building or short-reach access infrastruc...
متن کاملNear-field intensity pattern at the output of silica-based graded-index multimode fibers under selective excitation with a single-mode fiber.
Selective excitation of graded-index multimode fibers (GI-MMFs) with a single-mode fiber (SMF) has gained increased interest for telecommunication applications. It has been proposed as a way to enhance the transmission bandwidth of GI-MMF links and/or create parallel communication channels over the same GI-MMF. Although the effect of SMF excitation on the transmission bandwidth has been investi...
متن کاملMode demultiplexer using angularly multiplexed volume holograms.
This study proposes a volume holographic demultiplexer (VHDM) for extracting the spatial modes excited in a multimode fiber. A unique feature of the demultiplexer is that it can separate a number of multiplexed modes output from a fiber in different directions by using multi-recorded holograms without beam splitters, which results in a simple configuration as compared with that using phase plat...
متن کاملMode-multiplexed transmission over conventional graded-index multimode fibers.
We present experimental results for combined mode-multiplexed and wavelength multiplexed transmission over conventional graded-index multimode fibers. We use mode-selective photonic lanterns as mode couplers to precisely excite a subset of the modes of the multimode fiber and additionally to compensate for the differential group delay between the excited modes. Spatial mode filters are added to...
