    Perfect vortex modes for nondestructive characterization of mode dependent loss in ring core fibers
    (New York, N.Y. : Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2022-08-02) Banawan, Mai; Mishra, Satyendra K.; Messaddeq, Younès; LaRochelle, Sophie; Rusch, Leslie
    Ring core fibers (RCF) enable high-performance modal multiplexing with low crosstalk and can support orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes. RCFs are challenging to characterize due to the lack of commercial multiplexers, especially for high OAM orders. For fibers supporting large numbers of modes, typical cutback techniques for characterization are extremely wasteful of fiber, especially as one cutback is required for each mode. We show the differential modal loss across modes 3 to 10 was significantly underestimated using an OTDR when exciting modes individually or when exciting all modes indiscriminately. We exploit perfect vortex beams to achieve reliable and nondestructive characterization of mode-dependent loss (MDL) for OAM modes. Perfect vortex beams allow us to maximize the coupling efficiency at each mode launch, increasing the accuracy of MDL estimate. We fabricated fiber with a refractive index difference between the ring core and the cladding of a 5.1×10⁻². For this fiber, mode orders 3 to 10 are the most suitable for data transmission and were the focus of our work (the fiber support up to OAM order 13). Such a high index difference can lead to MDL. We demonstrate that the modal loss spans from 2.14 to 4.38 dB/km for orders 3 to 10.

    Linearly polarized vector modes : enabling MIMO-free mode-division multiplexing
    (Optical Society of America, 2017-05-10) Mirzaei Nejad, Reza; Lin, Jiachuan; Corsi, Alessandro; LaRochelle, Sophie; Messaddeq, Younès; Wang, Lixian; Rusch, Leslie
    We experimentally investigate mode-division multiplexing in an elliptical ring core fiber (ERCF) that supports linearly polarized vector modes (LPV). Characterization show that the ERCF exhibits good polarization maintaining properties over eight LPV modes with effective index difference larger than 1 × 10−4. The ERCF further displays stable mode power and polarization extinction ratio when subjected to external perturbations. Crosstalk between the LPV modes, after propagating through 0.9 km ERCF, is below −14 dB. By using six LPV modes as independent data channels, we achieved the transmission of 32 Gbaud QPSK over 0.9 km ERCF without any multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) or polarization-division multiplexing (PDM) signal processing.

    Modeling and characterization of cladding-pumped erbium-ytterbium co-doped fibers for amplification in communication systems
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2019-12-20) Essiambre, René-Jean.; Ryf, Roland; Matte-Breton, Charles; Fontaine, Nicolas K.; LaRochelle, Sophie; Messaddeq, Younès; Chen, Haoshuo; Kelly, C.
    Cladding-pumped optical fiber amplifiers are of increased interest in the context of space-division multiplexing but are known to suffer from low power efficiency. In this context, ytterbium (Yb) co-doping can be an attractive solution to improve the performance of erbium (Er) doped fiber amplifiers. We present a detailed direct comparison between Er/Yb-co-doping and Er-doping using numerical simulations validated by experimental results. Two double-cladding fibers, one doped with Er only and the other one co-doped with Er and Yb, were designed, fabricated and characterized. Using the experimentally extracted parameters, we simulate multi-core fiber amplifiers and investigate the interest of Er/Yb-co-doping. We calculate the minimum gain of the amplifiers over a 35-nm spectral window considering various scenarios.

    Integrated cladding-pumped multicore few-mode erbium-doped fibre amplifier for space-division-multiplexed communications
    (Nature Pub. Group, 2016-07-11) Chen, Haoshuo; Essiambre, René-Jean.; Grégoire, Nicolas; Huang, Bin; Morency, Steeve; Fontaine, Nicolas K.; Jin, Cang; Ryf, Roland; LaRochelle, Sophie; Shang, Kuanping; Messaddeq, Younès; Li, Guifang
    Space-division multiplexing (SDM), whereby multiple spatial channels in multimode1 and multicore2 optical fibres are used to increase the total transmission capacity per fibre, is being investigated to avert a data capacity crunch3,4 and reduce the cost per transmitted bit. With the number of channels employed in SDM transmission experiments continuing to rise, there is a requirement for integrated SDM components that are scalable. Here, we demonstrate a cladding-pumped SDM erbium-doped fibre amplifier (EDFA) that consists of six uncoupled multimode erbium-doped cores. Each core supports three spatial modes, which enables the EDFA to amplify a total of 18 spatial channels (six cores × three modes) simultaneously with a single pump diode and a complexity similar to a single-mode EDFA. The amplifier delivers >20 dBm total output power per core and <7 dB noise figure over the C-band. This cladding-pumped EDFA enables combined space-division and wavelength-division multiplexed transmission over multiple multimode fibre spans.

    Mode division multiplexing using orbital angular momentum modes over 1.4 km ring core fiber
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2016-07-27) Mirzaei Nejad, Reza; Amiralizadeh, Siamak; Brunet, Charles; LaRochelle, Sophie; Messaddeq, Younès; Allahverdyan, Karen; Rusch, Leslie; Vaity, Pravin
    Mode division multiplexing (MDM) systems using orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes can recover the data in D different modes without recourse to full (2D × 2D) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) processing. One of the biggest challenges in OAM-MDM systems is the mode instability following fiber propagation. Previously, MIMO-free OAM-MDM data transmission with two modes over 1.1 km of vortex fiber was demonstrated, where optical polarization demultiplexing was employed in the setup. We demonstrate MDM data transmission using two OAM modes over 1.4 km of a specially designed ring core fiber without using full MIMO processing or optical polarization demultiplexing. We demonstrate reception with electrical polarization demultiplexing, i.e., minimal 2 × 2 MIMO, showing the compatibility of OAM-MDM with current polarization demultiplexing receivers.
