Abstract

We present the design, fabrication, and characterization of a highly nonlinear few-mode fiber (HNL-FMF) with an intermodal nonlinear coefficient of 2.8  (W·km)−1, which to the best of our knowledge is the highest reported to date. The graded-index circular core fiber supports two mode groups (MGs) with six eigenmodes and is highly doped with germanium. This breaks the mode degeneracy within the higher-order MG, leading to different group velocities among corresponding eigenmodes. Thus, the HNL-FMF can support multiple intermodal four-wave mixing processes between the two MGs at the same time. In a proof-of-concept experiment, we demonstrate simultaneous intermodal wavelength conversions among three eigenmodes of the HNL-FMF over the C band.

Fig. 1.
Fig. 1. (a) Schematic of the intramodal and intermodal FWM processes. The colors represent the spatial modes of the waves. (b) The inverse group velocity (β1) versus angular frequency relation required for phase matching in the intermodal processes. The dashed lines indicate the β1 values at the average frequency of the two waves in each mode, which should be equal.

Fig. 10. Output spectra after mode demultiplexing. Two different MGs are received separately by changing the corresponding phase pattern in the MDMUX. For easier observation, a redshift of 0.1 nm is intentionally added on the spectrum when receiving the HE11 mode. Dashed lines indicate the cross talk from one MG to the other.
