    摘要: An apparatus, e.g. an optical device, includes an optical transmitter and a mixer. The transmitter is configured to transmit a plurality of optical data channels that each include at least one spectral component at a same frequency. The mixer is configured to combine a first data channel with a second data channel. The combining is such that first and second optical channels output by the optical transmitter each include contributions from the first and second data channels at the same frequency.

The spatial arrangement of the cores at the input end of the first optical coupler is configured for low-loss intake of the optical energy from the input transmission line. The spatial arrangement of the cores at the output end of the first optical coupler and the spatial arrangement of the cores at the input end of the second optical coupler match the spatial arrangement of the cores in the doped multi-core fiber. The spatial arrangement of the cores at the output end of the second optical coupler is configured for low-loss transfer of the optical energy into the output transmission line.

    摘要: An apparatus includes an optical transmitter having a plurality of optical data modulators and an end-face coupler. Each of the optical data modulators is configured to output a corresponding data-modulated optical carrier. The optical end-face coupler is configured to direct the data-modulated optical carriers into a pattern of light beams to illuminate an end-face of a multi-mode optical fiber with a pattern of light spots. The optical end-face coupler is configured to cause each of the data-modulated optical carriers to excite a set of orthonormal optical propagating modes of the multi-mode optical fiber. Some of the orthonormal optical propagating modes of the set have nontrivially differing intensity and/or phase profiles.

    摘要: An optical data transmitter includes vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers and an all-optical spatial mode multiplexer. Each vertical cavity surface-emitting laser is configured to output a data modulated optical carrier at a center wavelength of less than one micrometer. The all-optical spatial mode multiplexer has an optical output and optical inputs. Each vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers is optically connected to one or more of the optical inputs of the all-optical spatial mode multiplexer. The all-optical spatial mode multiplexer is configured to cause at least two of the vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers to excite linearly independent combinations of one or more optical spatial propagating modes of an optical fiber in response to the optical output being coupled to a near end of the optical fiber.
