In the mode-division multiplexing (MDM) optical transmission system, a mode multi/demultiplexer is an important key device for excitation, multiplication, and separation of light signals which have distinct modes. In this report, we propose a fiber-type mode multi/demultiplexer based on selective phase matching between different cores/modes. Design method and device characteristics of 1x4 mode multi/demultiplexer are investigated through finite element analysis. In order to expand operating wavelength range, we reveal the structural parameters that satisfy phase matching conditions over wide wavelength range. Our numerical results demonstrate that the mode multi/demultiplexer with broadband, polarization-insensitive operation can be realized by applying the proposed fiber structure.

We propose a broadband silicon four-mode multi/demultiplexer which consists of three asymmetric directional couplers, and the asymmetric directional couplers were designed by a wavefront matching method to operate as mode multi/demultiplexers for TE, TE, and TE modes, respectively. Simulated results show that the -0.5-dB bandwidths of normalized transmission of the couplers designed by a wavefront matching method are 112, 114, and 134 nm, respectively.

To further increase the capacity of the optical transmission system, the hybrid mode- and polarisation-division multiplexing (MDM-PDM) technology has been proved to be an efficient approach by multiplexing dual polarisations for each orthogonal eigen mode. A hybrid (de)multiplexer [(De)MUX] is one of the most important fabrics for the hybrid MDM-PDM networks. A compact silicon 10-mode hybrid (De)MUX is proposed based on three cascaded asymmetric directional couplers (ADCs) based sections, three adiabatic tapers, and a polarisation beam splitter (PBS).

A broadband 3-dB mode divider, which is also newly devised here, makes it possible to compose a Mach-Zehnder filter for "mode" and "wavelength" simultaneously. Transmission characteristics of fabricated 3-dB mode dividers are in excellent agreement with theoretical results.

We have proposed a mode multi/demultiplexer based on the echelle grating suitable for vertical multimode bus waveguide. Compared with the lateral multimode waveguide, the vertical scheme has much smaller bending radius which leads to compact system size. The guided modes in the multimode waveguide are able to be separated simultaneously by the echelle grating since they experiences different propagation constants in the free propagation region.

The PLCb-ased mode MUX/DEMUX has advantage of selectively exciting higher-order mode. We realize three-mode (LP(01), LP(11)a, and LP(21)a) multiplexing by using an asymmetric parallel waveguide.
