The feature of a multicore fiber with one-ring structure is theoretically analyzed and experimentally demonstrated. The one-ring structure overcomes the issues of the hexagonal close-pack structure. The possibility of 10-core fiber with Aeff of 110 μm(2) and 12-core fiber with Aeff of 80 μm(2) is theoretically presented. The fabricated 12-core fibers based on the simulation results realized Aeff of 80 μm(2) and crosstalk less than -40 dB at 1550 nm after 100-km propagation. The MCF with the number of core larger than seven and the small crosstalk was demonstrated for the first time.

We propose a homogeneous five-mode twelve-core fiber with a trench-assisted structure, combining a low refractive index circle and a high refractive index ring (LCHR). The 12-core fiber utilizes the triangular lattice arrangement. The properties of the proposed fiber are simulated by the finite element method.

This paper investigates the applicability of a model of a cladding-pumped multicore erbium-doped fiber amplifier (CP-MC-EDFA) that employs the average inversion level of an erbium ion. The model is modified to include the effects of multiple cores for modifications of the background loss coefficient of the pump light. The model is validated experimentally by measurements of the pump power, gain transient, and intercore cross-gain modulation of a cladding-pumped 12-core EDFA in which the pump light is uniformly distributed in the inner cladding.

We investigated the prostate elasticity displayed by elastography and its correlation with the content and distribution of collagen type I (Col1) and type III (Col3). A total of 62 patients underwent transrectal real-time tissue elastography (TRTE) examinations. Targeted biopsies were performed after 12-core systematic biopsy.

We demonstrate bidirectional transmission over 450 km of newly-developed dual-ring structured 12-core fiber with large effective area and low crosstalk. Inter-core crosstalk is suppressed by employing propagation-direction interleaving, and 409-Tb/s capacities are achieved for both directions.
