Modal Dispersion Mitigation in Standard Single-Mode Fibers at 850 nm With Fiber Mode Filters

We investigate the possibility of using a fiber which supports only the fundamental LP01 mode at 850 nm as a mode filter to overcome modal dispersion in standard single-mode fiber links that employ either multitransverse or single-transverse-mode vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers. The individu...

Description
Summary:We investigate the possibility of using a fiber which supports only the fundamental LP01 mode at 850 nm as a mode filter to overcome modal dispersion in standard single-mode fiber links that employ either multitransverse or single-transverse-mode vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers. The individual power penalties due to modal noise and modal crosstalk effects in the link are investigated.
