Abstract

Optical communication channels evolve to supply the demand for ever increasing transmission rates in response to new entertainment technologies, services, and high performance computing. Together with conventional wavelength, division multiplexing and advanced modulation formats, the use of space (or mode) division multiplexing presents the next step in the capacity evolution path. Following the same tendency, nanophotonics presents mechanisms for modal multiplexing in the same platform of modulation, detection and signal processing, but it still does not offer efficient devices to couple multimode channels and integrated waveguides. This project proposes the development of nanophotonic couplers for communication channels supporting space division multiplexing and their demonstration in high bit rate systems, considering in particular multicore and few-mode fibers, and free-space beams with orbital angular momentum.
