摘要： A multicore fiber comprises a plurality of cores extending along the length of a fiber body. Each of the cores is surrounded by a cladding. The plurality of cores and surrounding cladding provide respective index variations, so as to form a. respective plurality of waveguides for conducting parallel data transmissions from a first end of the fiber to a second end. The plurality of cores has a cross-sectional geometry in which the plurality of cores is configured in a polygonal array, in which at least some of the cores are positioned at the vertices of the array. The polygonal array is configured such that neighboring cores in the array are separated from each other by a distance that Is sufficient to prevent crosstalk therebetween.

摘要： Devices and techniques are described for connecting each of plurality of terminals to respective individual cores of a multicore fiber. Each of the plurality of terminals is provided with a respective length of a single-core fiber. The single-core fibers are configured to maintain modal properties that arc substantially the same, within a tolerance range, at the front and rear ends, as the single-core fiber is tapered. The single-core fibers are assembled together. The front end of the assembly is tapered to form a front cross-section in which the single-core fiber cores are arranged in a configuration matching that of the cores of the multicore fiber.

摘要： An optical transmission and amplification system includes a multichannel transmission span with a length of a multicore transmission fiber having a plurality of individual transmission cores. A first tapered multicore coupler provides connectivity between the plurality of transmission cores of the multicore fiber and a respective plurality of individual transmission leads. A fiber amplifier is provided having a plurality of individual cores including at least one pump core and a plurality of amplifier core. A second tapered multicore coupler provides connectivity between the amplifier cores of the fiber amplifier and a respective plurality of amplifier leads, and between the at least one pump core and a respective pump lead.

摘要： Shunt fibers having a photonic bandgap cladding region including one or more hollow guiding regions of which one guiding region is configured as the core and one or more other guiding regions are configured as shunts, respectively, provide nearly single mode transmission in the core. The effective mode index of unwanted core modes and modes in one or more shunts are matched closely enough such that higher order modes will selectively couple to the shunt modes by resonant phase matching in the presence of fiber variations. The shunts are designed to have relatively higher losses thereby effectively dissipating power in the higher order modes at a faster rate.
