Theoretical Investigation of Six-Mode Multi/Demultiplexer Based on Fused-Type Multicore Fiber Coupler

Theoretical Investigation of Six-Mode Multi/Demultiplexer Based on Fused-Type Multicore Fiber Coupler

A six-mode (LP<sub>01</sub>/LP<sub>11</sub>ab/LP<sub>21ab</sub>/LP<sub>02</sub>) multi/demultiplexer based on a fused-type multicore fiber coupler is proposed, and the coupling characteristics are investigated. The multi/demultiplex operation is achiev...
