    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 pedestal fiber is configured to be taperable to form a tapered fiber having a mode field diameter at the tapered end that differs from the mode field diameter at the untapered end in correspondence with the difference between the cladding diameter at the tapered end and the cladding diameter at the untapered end. A plurality of such pedestal fibers can be used to construct a tapered fiber bundle coupler that provides matching of both core pitch and mode field diameter between a plurality of input fibers and individual cores of a multicore fiber. Further, the tapered fiber bundle coupler can be constructed using a plurality of fibers, in which individual fibers are configured to have different effective refractive indices, thereby suppressing crosstalk therebetween.

    摘要: An all-fiber combiner device is described for combining multiple high power inputs, such as high power laser inputs. The device includes a first tapered fiber section made from fibers that allow for efficient size reduction of the optical signals. The output of the first tapered fiber section may then be coupled to a multimode output fiber for delivery of the combined power beam. Alternately, the first tapered section can be coupled to a second, multimode, tapered section, which provides further size reduction of the core for splicing into a final output fiber, while adding cladding to the main fiber.

    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.
