Abstract
A mode-forming remote switch in multi-mode fiber distributing networks has been proposed. It can transmit the desired data to the desired port by adjusting transmitter signals. Feasibilities of the proposed scheme are confirmed by switching sub-carrier BPSK signal to the selected port. A graded-index multi-mode fiber link whose output is divided into two ports by a mode-dependent optical coupler, is used as mode-division multiplexing network. Its channel matrix is obtained by using MIMO processing technologies. Amplitudes and phases of the data are adjusted according to the channel matrix. The data is successfully switched to the desired port. Also, wavelength independences are clarified.
