Abstract :
We demonstrate a high performance fused-type mode selective coupler that couples the LP11 mode of a two-mode fiber and the LP01 mode of a matching single-mode fiber, the phase-matching condition was satisfied by etching and pre-pulling of a two-mode fiber, the excess loss and the maximum coupling ratio of 0.15 dB and 92%, respectively, are achieved.
