… We investigate the use of “photonic lanterns” as adiabatic mode converters for space-division
multiplexing (SDM) systems to interface multiple single-mode fibers to a multi-mode fiber. …

… We demonstrate a 3x1 fiber-based photonic lantern spatial-multiplexer with mode-selectivity
greater than 6 dB and transmission loss of less than 0.3 dB. The total insertion loss of the …
