Abstract
Low-loss all-fiber photonic lantern (PL) capable of selectively exciting the first six fiber modes of a multimode fiber (4 LP) are demonstrated. Mode field profile characterization of photonic lanterns using both step and graded index fibers is presented. Moreover, coupling and transmission over 100 m of a few mode fiber (FMF) is presented demonstrating low mode coupling and low losses.
