Abstract :
A new mode converter based on the hollow optical fiber to convert the fundamental mode to the ring shape mode is proposed to reduce the differential modal delay of multi-mode fiber (MMF). We report improvement of BER for 2.5Gb/s transmission at 1.31 μm through 500 m of MMF using the proposed mode converter.
