We demonstrate the transmission of 25Gb/s multimode optical signals over a record length of 300m multimode fiber designed for high modal bandwidth at 1310nm. The power penalty is 1.8 dB at 10(-12) bit error rate level.

We propose and validate a novel optical semantic transmission scheme using multimode fiber (MMF). By leveraging the frequency sensitivity of intermodal dispersion in MMFs, we achieve high-dimensional semantic encoding and decoding in the frequency domain. Our system maps symbols to 128 distinct frequencies spaced at 600 kHz intervals, demonstrating a seven-fold increase in capacity compared to conventional communication encoding.

In fiber-based confocal microscopy, using two separate fibers for illumination and collection enables the use of a few-mode fiber to achieve an effect similar to opening the pinhole in a conventional confocal microscope. In some Fourier-domain applications, however, or when a spectral measurement is involved, the coherent light detection would lead to noticeable spectral modulation artifacts that result from differential mode delay, an effect caused by the multimode propagation in the collection fiber. After eliminating these artifacts by using mode-dependent polarization control, we demonstrate effective spectrally encoded imaging with improved signal efficiency and lower speckle noise, and only a minor, negligible reduction in lateral and axial resolutions.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA novel, to the best of our knowledge, approach for the modal decomposition of a fiber laser beam is demonstrated using a spatial mode multiplexer. Since the modal decomposition is carried out optically, this approach is able to obtain the modal content at speeds up to the GHz level. In order to demonstrate such performance, we have applied this approach to the modal analysis of a -switched pulse generated in a multimode fiber with alternating intra-pulse mode content.

In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate the results of a 24-h real-time single-wavelength 2.5-Gbps FSOC between two islands 29 km apart at a low altitude with low complexity.

Transmission matrix measurements of multimode fibers are now routinely performed in numerous laboratories, enabling control of the electric field at the distal end of the fiber and paving the way for the potential application to ultrathin medical endoscopes with high resolution. The same concepts are applicable to other areas, such as space division multiplexing, targeted power delivery, fiber laser performance, and the general study of the mode coupling properties of the fiber. However, the process of building an experimental setup and developing the supporting code to measure the fiber's transmission matrix remains challenging and time consuming, with full details on experimental design, data collection, and supporting algorithms spread over multiple papers or lacking in detail.
