Abstract:
A space-division multiplexed optical fiber includes a relatively high refractive index optical core region surrounded by alternating regions of relatively low and relative high refractive index material, forming concentric high index rings around the core. The optical core region supports propagation of light along at least a first radial mode associated with the optical core region and a high index ring region supports propagation of light along at least a second radial mode associated with the high index ring region. The second radial mode is different from the first radial mode.

Claim (Index 17):
A method as recited in  claim 10 , wherein the concentric SDM fiber further comprises a second high index ring formed from a material having a third relatively high refractive index around the first high index ring and separated from the first high index ring by a second low index ring formed of a material having a refractive index less than either the second relatively high refractive index and the third relatively high refractive index; and further comprising:\n generating a third optical signal; transmitting the third optical signal into a third mode of the concentric SDM fiber propagating substantially along the second high index ring; and detecting the third optical signal after propagating along the length of the concentric SDM fiber substantially free of the first optical signal and the second optical signal.
