A model to calculate the butt-joint coupling efficiency between a multi-mode fiber to a single-mode fiber is presented based on a mode field coupling theory. The dependence of the coupling efficiency between the multi- and single-mode fibers on the core radius of the multi-mode fiber is investigated. A experiment is conducted with 532nm laser to measure the butt joint coupling efficiency of a multi-mode fiber to a single-mode fiber. Good agreement is obtained between the experimental results and the theoretical predictions. A cascaded multi- and single-mode fiber relay system is proposed to transport a laser beam with high power and good beam quality.

AbstractData rates in optical fiber networks have increased exponentially over the past decades and core-networks are expected to operate in the peta-bit-per-second regime by 2030. As current single-mode fiber-based transmission systems are reaching their capacity limits, space-division multiplexing has been investigated as a means to increase the per-fiber capacity. Of all space-division multiplexing fibers proposed to date, multi-mode fibers have the highest spatial channel density, as signals traveling in orthogonal fiber modes share the same fiber-core. By combining a high mode-count multi-mode fiber with wideband wavelength-division multiplexing, we report a peta-bit-per-second class transmission demonstration in multi-mode fibers. This was enabled by combining three key technologies: a wideband optical comb-based transmitter to generate highly spectral efficient 64-quadrature-amplitude modulated signals between 1528 nm and 1610 nm wavelength, a broadband mode-multiplexer, based on multi-plane light conversion, and a 15-mode multi-mode fiber with optimized transmission characteristics for wideband operation.

An optical micro-coupling system of whispering-gallery mode usually consists of a resonator (e.g. a sphere) and a coupler (e.g. a taper). In this report, silica microspheres of 50–500 μm in diameter are fabricated by hydrogen flame fusing of an end of a single mode fiber or fiber taper. Fiber tapers are fabricated by the method of heating and pulling that meets an adiabatic condition. Taper’s waist diameter can routinely be made less than 1 μm and almost zero transmission loss in a taper is achieved which allows an effective and phase-matched coupling for a wide range sizes of microspheres. Both resonators and couplers’ surface microstructure and shapes are examined by scanning electronic microscopy. Three regimes of coupling are achieved, enabling a good flexibility to control Q value and coupling efficiency of a micro-coupling system. Whispering gallery mode shift is used to demonstrate a novel temperature micro-sensor. Its sensitivity determined from actual experimental results agrees well with the theoretical value. A concept of using the photon’s cavity ring down (CRD) in the microsphere to make a novel high-sensitivity trace gas micro-sensor is proposed. The CRD time constant when ammonia is chosen as the analyte gas is predicted using the simulated absorption lines.

An extrinsic Fabry-Perot (F-P) interferometric (EFPI) sensor by using simple etching and fusing method is proposed and demonstrated. The cavity is formed by wet chemical etching of multi-mode fiber (MMF) end face in hydrofluoric acid solutions, and then it is fused to the end of a single-mode fiber (SMF) to form an extrinsic F-P structure. The strain and temperature of EFPI sensor are studied experimentally. The experimental results show that the interference wavelength becomes 2.648nm longer while the strain increases from 0N to 637N, and the strain sensitivity is about 0.004nm/N, and linearity is 0.999. The interference wavelength becomes 0.032nm shorter while the temperature increases from 20°C to 100°C. This kind of sensor has the many advantages of easy fabrication, good reliability, high-repetition, small size, low cost and mass-production, which offers great prospect for sensing applications.
