Abstract
We present a characterization technique for coupled space-division multiplexed (SDM) amplifiers, that can measure the complex transfer matrix over the whole wavelength range of interest of an amplifier under nominal input spectrum and power condition. The measurements are essential for the performance estimation of an SDM system.
