Localized Eigenmodes in a Triangular Multicore Hollow Optical Fiber for Space-division Multiplexing in C+L Band

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

We propose a triangular-multicore hollow optical fiber (TMC-HOF) design for uncoupled mode-division and space-division multiplexing. The TMC-HOF has three triangular cores, and each core has three modes:LP 01 and two split LP 11 modes. The asymmetric structure of the triangular core can split the LP 11 modes.
Using the proposed structures, nine independent modes can propagate in a fiber. We use a fully vectorial finite-element method to estimate effective index, chromatic dispersion, differential group delay (DGD), and confinement loss by controlling the parameters of the TMC-HOF structure. We confirm that the proposed TMC-HOF shows flattened chromatic dispersion, low DGD, low confinement loss, low core-tocore crosstalk, and low crosstalk between adjacent modes. The proposed TMC-HOF can provide a common platform for MDM and SDM applications.
