Abstract:
A mode division multiplexing system that includes a transmitter system, a receiver system and an optical link that optically connects the transmitter and receiver systems. The optical link includes a rectangular-core optical fiber having a rectangular core with a short dimension and a long dimension. The rectangular-core optical fiber supports only a single mode in the short dimension and multiple modes in the long dimension. A method of transmitting optical signals includes converting single mode optical signals to respective multimode optical signals each having a select spatial mode as defined by the rectangular-core optical fiber. The multimode optical signals are multiplexed and transmitted from the transmitter system to the receiver system over the rectangular-core optical fiber where the multimode optical signals are demultiplexed and converted back to single mode optical signals, which are then detected by respective receivers. A rectangular-core optical fiber is also disclosed.

Claim (Index 16):
The method according to  claim 15 , wherein the relative refractive index \u0394 1  is in the range from 0.3% to 0.6%.
