Abstract:
A Germanium-free graded-index-core 6-spatial-mode fiber is designed, fabricated and characterized. The index profile of the core is tightly controlled to achieve low differential-mode-group delays (≤170ps/km). Low Rayleigh scattering losses are also demonstrated (≤0.167dB/km) but the total losses still need to be optimized.
