Think Outside the Fiber: Imaging Amplifier for Space-Multiplexed Optical Transmission

This paper proposes a simple and practical method to amplify signals for space-multiplexed optical transmission. In this amplification technique, the output facet of the multicore or multimode fiber is mapped back to the same type of fiber after passing through an imaging and bulk amplifying region....
