  • Abstract
    We built an optical Few Mode Amplifier supporting 5 modes. Moderate crosstalk between modes has been measured thanks to careful design and alignment optimization. Simultaneous amplification of 100Gbits/ PDM-QPSK signal over 5 modes is demonstrated. OCIS codes: (060.2320) Fiber Optics amplifiers and oscillators; (060.4230) Multiplexing.
