Article Abstract
An optimized multi-step index (MSI) 2-LP-mode fiber is proposed and fabricated with low propagation loss of 0.179 dB/km, low intermodal crosstalk and excellent bend resistance. We experimentally clarified the characteristics of backward Brillouin scattering (BBS) and forward Brillouin scattering (FBS) induced by radial acoustic modes () in the fabricated MSI 2-LP-mode fiber, respectively. Via the use of this two-mode fiber, we demonstrated a novel discriminative measurement method of temperature and acoustic impedance based on BBS and FBS, achieving improved experimental measurement uncertainties of 0.2 °C and 0.019 kg/(s·mm) for optoacoustic chemical sensing. The low propagation loss of the sensing fiber and the new measurement method based on both BBS and FBS may pave the way for long-distance and high spatial resolution distributed fiber sensors.

We study whispering gallery modes (WGMs) of a ring resonator formed by a highly elliptical two-mode fiber. By imparting the twist to the fiber, one can make this system's topology similar to a Möbius stripe's topology. We show that WGMs of such a Möbius ring resonator (MRR) carry intrinsic orbital angular momentum (OAM).

It is thus critical to develop compact, efficient, and robust sources to generate such states. Here, we report on a compact, narrowband, fiber-coupled source of two-mode squeezed states of light at 795 nm based on four-wave mixing (FWM) in an Rb atomic vapor.

A breakdown of the total energy consumption in the modern 400 and 800 Gbit/s transceiver modules shows that the largest proportion of power is consumed for the retiming of the digital signal processing integrated circuits (DSP ICs), which are used to compensate for the limited modulation bandwidth of the light source through the fiber channel. This work demonstrates that, by combining a novel Zn-diffusion single-mode (SM) 850 nm VCSEL with a 1 km length graded-index single-mode fiber (SMF), which is two-mode at 850 nm window with high modal bandwidth, we can obtain a significant direct modulation bandwidth enhancement (22 to 39 GHz), with an optical coupling efficiency as high as 60.

When the refractive index of the core is 10 lower than that of the ring, a phenomenon that we named double dominant modes will appear. The double dominant modes means that one common dominant mode exists in the ring area, and the other one dominant mode exists in the core area (can be regard as the quasi-fundamental mode here) of the fiber.

Transverse mode instability (TMI), induced by nonlinear thermal-optical coupling, poses a primary challenge for the power scaling of fiber lasers. In the fiber oscillator, a sealed resonant cavity, TMI could become particularly complex due to the mode competition during the laser oscillation. While traditional theories of TMI predominantly address two-mode coupling, this paper explores the TMI phenomena in few-mode fiber oscillators utilizing a holistic approach that includes solving steady-state thermal-optic coupling equations.
