A well designed ring-core fiber can theoretically support numerous orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes with low crosstalk for space-division-multiplexing (SDM) data transmission, which is considered as a promising solution for overcoming the capacity crunch in optical communication network. However, the accumulated chromatic dispersion in OAM-fiber could limit the data speed and transmission distance of communication systems. A potential solution is to insert a dispersion compensation ring-core fiber with opposite-sign of dispersion in the transmission fiber along the fiber link. In this work, we propose a triple ring-core fiber with broadband negative dispersion. A highest negative dispersion of -24.47 ps/(nm·km) at 1550 nm and an average dispersion slope in the C band from -0.182 ps/(nm·km) to 0.065 ps/(nm·km) can be achieved to compensate multi-order dispersion. The effects of Ge-doping concentration fluctuation in the high-index ring core and fabrication errors on fiber geometric structures are also investigated. Furthermore, the effective mode area decreases as the widths of high-index rings increase due to the enhanced confinement ability. The designed triple ring-core fiber could offer potential for compensating OAM fiber links with positive dispersions.

Article Synopsis
- This study examines how the shape factor (k) influences the mode properties of graded-index ring-core fibers (GIRCF), specifically focusing on a design with 50 mol% Ge-doping and a shape factor of 2.
- The research demonstrates that this GIRCF configuration can produce supercontinuum light with orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes, featuring a flat dispersion with slight variations over a wide wavelength range of 750 to 3055 nm.
- The introduction of a graded refractive index profile (RIP) enhances ring-core fiber design by promoting flat dispersion, minimizing spin-orbit coupling, and enabling better mode purity and broader spectral coverage.
Here we design a simple M-shaped optical fiber to generate equal-power dual Brillouin gain peaks, and numerically simulate bending loss-resistant temperature and curvature sensing. By investigating the M-shaped fibers transitioning from ring-core to circular-core, we examine the Brillouin gain spectrum evolution from a single peak to dual peaks and back to a single peak. During this fiber transition and spectral evolution, we find that the calculated Brillouin frequency shift (BFS) and Brillouin gain exhibit unique developments based on acoustic-optic coupling theory, providing a methodology for designing and optimizing a desirable Brillouin gain spectrum in M-shaped optical fibers.

- Mode-division multiplexing (MDM) and wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) are effective methods to increase the capacity of fiber-optic systems, requiring amplification techniques like distributed Raman amplifiers (DRA) for signal light enhancement.
- This study showcases the successful transmission of 3 OAM modes and 9 WDM channels over a 104-km custom ring-core fiber using DRA to amplify the signals.
- The developed mode selective couplers efficiently (de)multiplex OAM modes, while the OAM-DRA achieves high and flat gain, crucial for maintaining performance over long distances in the communication spectrum.
Ring core fibers (RCFs) offer unique advantages in fiber image transmission, as their weakly-coupled orbital angular momentum mode groups result in high resolution images. However, severe image distortion is still exhibited during fiber transmission when subjected to strong disturbances. Here, we present a novel approach with a differential neural network, namely the polarization speckle differential imaging (PSDI) method, to significantly enhance both the robustness and image resolution of RCF-based imaging systems.

Orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes are employed to facilitate imaging transmission. We experimentally validate the efficacy of our approach for complex field diffractive image reconstruction through a multimode fiber (MMF) and RCF at a 1550 nm operating wavelength.
