Abstract

The invention discloses a special-shaped air hole-assisted multi-core few-mode optical fiber, and belongs to the technical field of optical fiber communication. The special-shaped air hole-assisted multi-core few-mode optical fiber comprises a special-shaped air hole, a wrapping layer and a few-mode fiber core; the special-shaped air hole is located in the center of the section of the whole special-shaped air hole-assisted multi-core few-mode optical fiber, and the special-shaped air hole is composed of a first air hole and a plurality of second air holes evenly distributed in the periphery of the first air hole. The wrapping layer is arranged on the periphery of the special-shaped air hole, few-mode fiber cores are evenly distributed in the wrapping layer, and a few-mode optical fiber is arranged between every two adjacent second air holes. According to the special-shaped air hole-assisted multi-core few-mode optical fiber, the refractive index of the special-shaped air hole formed around the few-mode fiber core is lower than that of the wrapping layer, and the special-shaped air hole has certain binding capacity on light, so that optical coupling between the fiber cores is reduced, and crosstalk is restrained to a certain extent.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optical fiber communication, and relates to a multi-core few-mode optical fiber assisted by special-shaped air holes. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of the new generation of mobile communication technology, the demand for optical fiber communication capacity continues to increase. In optical fiber communication, technical means such as time division multiplexing, wavelength division multiplexing, and polarization multiplexing can effectively expand transmission capacity, but due to the rapid growth of data services, single-mode optical fibers cannot meet capacity requirements. Among them, time-division multiplexing and wavelength-division multiplexing have been used in the early stages of the development of optical fiber communications, because transmission is still carried out in single-mode optical fibers, and cannot break through the Shannon theoretical limit of single-mo...
