Abstract :
We investigate the fiber parameters which meet the design conditions for effectively three-spatial-mode transmission and low bending loss in a ring-core fiber for mode-division multiplexing transmission. We also clarify the effective area and the difference of the effective index while satisfying the design conditions.
