Mode generation in elliptical core few mode fiber

Abstract

In this paper, mode generation based on an elliptical core few mode fiber (EC-FMF) is devised through an inverse function, designed using split step beam propagation method (BPM). The undesired modes from an EC-FMF are eliminated through an appended waveguide computed from the inverse phase of undesired modes. The EC-FMF may be used as an all-optical switch.
