“…However, it would be easier to realize mode conversion for PICs rather than the fiber case due to the convenient and precise fabrication. Grating couplers have been proposed and demonstrated to synthesize the desired field profiles and excite a few LP fiber modes by vertical selective mode coupling [71][72][73][74]. In Ref.…”

Abstract-Multimode spatial-division multiplexing (SDM) technology has attracted much attention for its potential to enhance the capacity of an optical-interconnect link with a single wavelength carrier. For a mode-multiplexed optical-interconnect link, the functional elements are quite different from the conventional ones as multiple modes are involved. In this paper we give a review and discussion on multimode photonic integrated devices for mode-multiplexed opticalinterconnects. Light propagation and mode conversion in tapered waveguides as well as bent waveguides are discussed first. Recent progress on mode converter-(de)multiplexers is then reviewed. The demands of some functional devices used for mode-multiplexed opticalinterconnects are also discussed. In particular, the fabrication tolerance is analyzed in detail for our hybrid demultiplexer, which enables mode-/polarization-division-(de)multiplexing simultaneously.

“…Several non-integrated technologies, e.g. using photonic lanterns [2] or multi-plane light conversion [3] have already been demonstrated, as well as integrated solutions [4]. In order to make MDM transceivers commercially attractive as well as to be able to integrate them with other devices, it is preferable to develop integrated solutions using photonic integrated circuits (PICs), preferably on the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform.…”

“…In MDM communications, each mode plays a role of a channel in multiplexing. Several techniques for MDM communication have been reported in research [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Some techniques require very small modal dispersion [5][6][7], while others require large dispersion [8].…”
