Article Abstract
Recently, optical mode-division multiplexing has drawn a lot of attention due to its ability to increase the optical communication capacity in one physical channel with a single wavelength carrier. In this Letter, we demonstrate reconfigurable mode-selective modulation which is potentially useful for on-chip mode-multiplexed photonic systems. The device consists of two mode exchangers and one mode modulator. The mode exchanger is based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer that performs mode exchange between and modes. The mode modulator consists of a pair of 1×3/3×1 multimode interferometers acting as a mode (de)multiplexer. It only selectively modulates the mode while bypassing the mode. 32 Gb/s on-off keying (OOK) modulation is successfully demonstrated for both input and modes. This device can be used as a building block for on-chip multimode interconnect networks.

Few-mode polymer optical waveguide amplifier for mode-division multiplexed transmission.
Opt Lett
November 2021
We propose a few-mode erbium-ytterbium codoped polymer optical waveguide amplifier employing mode-selective photonic lanterns capable of multiplexing and demultiplexing. A reconfigurable pump configuration scheme is adopted to balance the modal gain per mode. A square few-mode waveguide amplifier supporting , , and modes is designed and fabricated.

To compensate for discrepancies due to uncertainties in the fabrication process, we develop a post-tuning technique to improve the performance of the coupler by means of depositing a layer of titanium oxide (TiO) onto one of the waveguides of the coupler. By integrating two cascaded dissimilar directional couplers, we experimentally demonstrate switchable (de)multiplexing of the LP, LP, and LP modes, where the LP mode can be switched at an efficiency over 75% from 1530 nm to 1612 nm with an applied voltage varying between -9 V and +30 V, and the LP mode can be switched at an efficiency higher than 90% from 1534 nm to 1577 nm with an applied voltage varying between -21 V to 0 V.

Opt Express
April 2018
We propose and demonstrate a four-port mode-selective optical router on a silicon-on-insulator platform. The passive routing property ensures that the router consumes no power to establish the optical links. For each port, input signals with different modes are selectively routed to the target ports through the pre-designed architecture.

Amplification to multi-watt output power is achieved while preserving high spatial mode selectivity. We observe gain values of over 12 dB for all modes: LP, LP, and LP, when amplified individually.
