  • Abstract
    We propose a PLC-based mode multi/demultiplexer (MUX/DEMUX) for mode-division multiplexing. We show numerically that the PLC-based mode MUX/DEMUX with a uniform height on one chip can multi/demultiplex four modes (LP01, LP11a, LP11b, and LP21a) by using our proposed LP11 mode rotator and a parallel waveguide. We successfully multi/demultiplex the four modes and achieve a relatively low-wavelength dependence over the C-band by using our fabricated four-mode MUX/DEMUX.
