An optical receiver (20) for multimode communications comprises: a mode demultiplexer (21) having an input connected to a multimode link (22) and a plurality of output lines (231-234), wherein the mode demultiplexer is adapted to couple each of the modal components of the optical signal substantially into a selected one of the output lines, a plurality of coherent optical detectors (251-254) respectively connected to the output lines to produce a set of electrical digital signals each comprising an in-phase component and a quadrature-phase component, a plurality of independently adjustable optical delay devices (241-244) arranged on the output lines to impart a selected delay to each of the corresponding modal components, and a signal processing device (26) adapted to process the digital signals to recover the independent modulations of the respective modal components by inverting a mode-mixing characteristic of the multimode link.
摘要:
A method and a device for optical data transmission are proposed. Incoming optical signals having respective incoming waveguide modes are mapped into outgoing optical signals having respective outgoing waveguide modes, using optical spatial modulators, whose multiplicative patterns correspond to the respective electrical field patterns of the respective incoming or outgoing waveguide modes. An incoming optical signal, whose respective incoming waveguide mode is of an azimuthal order equal to zero, results in an outgoing optical signal, whose respective outgoing waveguide mode is of an azimuthal order equal to zero. Furthermore, two incoming optical signals, whose respective second incoming waveguide modes are of a same azimuthal order greater than zero, of a same radial order, and orthogonal to each other result in respective outgoing signals, whose respective outgoing waveguide modes are off a same azimuthal order greater than zero, of a same radial order and orthogonal to each other.

The present document relates to optical transmission systems. In particular, the present document relates to the amplification of various spatial modes of a multi-mode fiber using a common optical amplifier. An optical transmission system is described. The optical transmission system comprises a multi-mode fiber (104) carrying a plurality of spatial modes; a multi-mode amplifier (102) configured to jointly amplify the power of the plurality of spatial modes; and an optical spatial mode gain equalizer (203, 300) configured to attenuate the power of a first spatial mode of the plurality of spatial modes with respect to the power of a second spatial mode of the plurality of spatial modes.
