Design and Analysis of Trench-Assisted Low-Bending-Loss Large-Mode-Field-Area Multi-Core Fiber with an Air Hole

In this paper, a trench-assisted low-bending-loss large-mode-field-area multi-core fiber with air hole is proposed, which can achieve dual-mode transmission. The influence of structural parameters on fiber performance is analyzed systematically, and the structure of the trench, with a lower refracti...
