The majority of optical fiber technology developments in the applied sciences have arisen
from developments in telecommunications. However, the photonic lantern is one of several …

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 …

We present a new technique allowing the fabrication of large modal count photonic lanterns
for space-division multiplexing applications. We demonstrate mode-selective photonic …

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 …

We demonstrate the fabrication of a high performance multi-mode (MM) to single-mode (SM)
splitter or “photonic lantern”, first described by Leon-Saval et al.(2005). Our photonic lantern …

We report transmission experiments in few-mode fibers supporting 6 spatial-and polarization
modes, where low-loss photonic lanterns are used as mode multiplexers. We measured a …
