Low delay and large effective area few-mode fibers for mode-division multiplexing

We report graded index few mode fiber designs for mode-division multiplexing and demonstrate a 100-km few-mode fiber span with effective areas larger than 160 μm2 and differential mode group delay of less than 6 ps/km.

Multicore fiber for optical interconnect applications

We propose multicore fibers with linear array configurations for optical interconnect applications. We discuss fiber design considerations and present actual 1×4 and 2×4 fiber results.
