Published: July 2010

A statistical theory for crosstalk in multicore fibers is derived from coupled-mode equations including bend-induced perturbations. Bends are shown to play a crucial role in crosstalk, explaining large disagreement between experiments and previous calculations. The average crosstalk of a fiber segment is related to the statistics of the bend radius and orientation, including spinning along the fiber length. This framework allows efficient and accurate estimates of cross-talk for realistic telecommunications links.

Rapid and accurate determination of target proteins in cells provide essential diagnostic information for early detection of diseases, evaluation of drug responses, and the study of pathophysiological mechanisms. Traditional Western blotting method has been used for the determination, but it is complex, time-consuming, and semi-quantitative. Here, a tapered seven-core fiber (TSCF) biosensor was designed and fabricated.

Commonly used linear equalizers in optical transmissions may induce in-band noise enhancement in the high-frequency region, degrading signaling performance. In this Letter, we propose for the first, to our knowledge, time, to mitigate the multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) equalizer-enhanced noise (EEN) in coupled-core multicore fiber (CC-MCF) systems by utilizing the spectral shaping (SS) filter and maximum likelihood sequence detection (MLSD), which have shown effective EEN mitigation in SMF systems. However, CC-MCF systems feature multiple spatial channels, each requiring separate coefficient optimization for SS filters corresponding to each output of MIMO.

In this Letter, we propose a new method utilizing femtosecond laser direct writing technology to rapidly inscribe high-quality tilted fiber Bragg gratings (TFBGs) in multicore fibers (MCFs). A series of TFBGs with varying tilt angles were directly inscribed in MCFs using the Plane-by-Plane (Pl-by-Pl) method, and the writing time for a 4 mm long TFBG was only 3.60 s.

Article Synopsis
  • - The multicore fiber amplifier is essential for advanced spatial division multiplexing (SDM) communication, but it has more complex challenges than traditional single-core systems, prompting the search for a more efficient solution.
  • - An innovative triple cladding 13-core Er/Yb co-doped microstructured fiber (13CEYDMOF) is proposed to balance performance factors like efficiency and cost, featuring unique peanut-shaped air holes that improve excitation and reduce fiber size.
  • - Experimental results show that the 13CEYDMOF achieved impressive performance metrics, including an average gain of 23.8 dB and a low noise figure, making it suitable for transmitting 13 spatial channels effectively in the telecommunication band.
