Abstract

This paper describes the group delay difference and mode coupling of few-mode fiber for “uncoupled” mode division multiplexing. Optical mode separation is compatible with few-mode fiber. It has complementary characteristics with the MIMO technique.

► Evaluated group delay differences of few-mode fibers is few decades greater than PMD. ► Simple fiber coupler can extract one specific mode from few-mode fiber. ► Elliptical core few-mode fiber is compatible to optical mode coupler/splitter.
