Abstract
A graded-index 13-core 5-LP mode fiber with high doped core and stairway-index trench structure have been successfully prepared by Hole-drilling method and Plasma vapor deposition. This fiber has 104 spatial channels, realizing large capacity information transmission. By building an experimental platform, the 13-core 5-LP mode fiber have been tested and characterized. The core can stably transmit 5 LP modes. The transmission loss is lower than 0.5 dB/km. Inter-core crosstalk (ICXT) of each layer of core is analyzed in detail. The ICXT can be less than -30 dB/100 km. The test results show that this fiber can stably transmit 5 LP modes, and has the characteristics of low loss and low crosstalk, realizing large capacity transmission. This fiber provides a solution to the issue of limited fiber capacity.
