Precise modal excitation in multimode fibre for control of modal dispersion and mode-group division multiplexing

Each mode of a multimode fibre is excited using binary phase patterns on a Spatial Light Modulator and verified by observation of the near-field leaving the fibre and analysis of the step response. © 2011 OSA.

Holographic mode-group division multiplexing

Specific fibre modes are deliberately excited in a few-mode and multimode fibre using holography. The same system is also used to demonstrate holography's ability to detect and route individual fibre modes. © OSA/OFC/NFOEC 2011.

20 Gb/s mode-group-division multiplexing employing Hermite-Gaussian launches over worst-case multimode fiber links

For the first time, mode group division multiplexing is achieved in a multimode fiber link using a 2-D Hermite-Gaussian mode launch. 20 Gb/s error-free transmission is achieved over a 250 m worst-case OM1 multimode fiber link. © OSA 2014.
