The cladding includes an interior edge and an exterior edge. The cladding has a cladding outer diameter defined by the exterior edge of the cladding. The cladding outer diameter may be in the range of greater than 170 μm to about 200 μm. The QSM fiber has a cabled cutoff wavelength that is greater than about 1530 nm. The core and the cladding support a fundamental mode LP01 and a higher-order mode LP11. The fundamental mode LP01 has an effective area Aeff>150 μm2.

Abstract: A glass article comprises a film layer deposited on a glass substrate. The film layer has a melting point less than 450° C. and comprises a thickness and a primary surface. The primary surface defines at least one elevated surface protruding relative to the at least one relief surface. The elevated surface forms a periodic pattern defined by an etch mask, and the relief surface is defined as an inverse pattern of the etch mask. The duration of an etching process applied to the film layer defines a ratio of a first area of the elevated surface to a second area of the relief surface.

Abstract: A photonic lantern includes three or more optical fibers housed within a glass capillary, each optical fiber includes a core and a cladding. The photonic lantern tapers between a first and second end such that a diameter of the glass capillary is greater at the first end than the second end and the cladding of at least two of the three or more optical fibers comprises an up-down doped cladding doped with a dopant combination that includes an up-dopant and a down-dopant. The up-dopant increases and the down-dopant decreases the effective refractive index of the up-down doped cladding. The dopant combination decreases a material viscosity of the up-down doped cladding such that a difference in the effective refractive index between a silica cladding and the up-down doped cladding is greater in a tapered region and at the second end than at the first end.

Abstract: The QD LED module (10) disclosed herein includes a support assembly (40), a circuit board (20), an LED (30) operably supported by the circuit board, wherein the LED emits blue light (36G). The QD LED module also has a QD structure (60) supported by the support assembly and axially spaced apart from the LED surface. The QD structure has an active area (AR) that includes a first region (R1) of QD material and a second region (R2) that has no QD material. A first portion of the blue light passes through the first region and is converted to red light (36R) and green light (36G). A second portion of the blue light passes through the second region. The QD material has a CIE color point that is shifted toward the yellow portion of the color space.

Abstract: Optical transmission systems and methods are disclosed that utilize a QSM optical fiber with a large effective area and that supports only two modes, namely the fundamental mode and one higher-order mode. The optical transmission system includes a transmitter and a receiver optically coupled by an optical fiber link that includes at least one section of the QSM optical fiber. Transmission over optical fiber link gives rise to MPI, which is mitigated using a digital signal processor. The QSM optical fiber is designed to have an amount of DMA that allows for the digital signal processor to have reduced complexity as reflected by a reduced number of filter taps as compared to if the DMA were zero.
