Abstract :
In this paper, a mode converter between mode LP01 and LP0m (m>1) is proposed based on two-stage tapered fiber. Each LP01-LP0m converter is obtained by changing the parameters of a generic structure. Three converters between LP01 and LP0m, m=2, 3, & 4, are designed for C-band, with less than 0.7-dB insertion loss and higher than 15 dB extinction ratio over the entire band.
