    Abstract: According to one embodiment two-core optical fiber is provided for use in Brillouin distributed fiber sensor applications and systems. The two-core fiber includes a first and second core. Each core is configured to exhibit a Brillouin frequency shift greater than 30 Mhz relative to the other core. Further, each core possesses temperature and strain coefficients that differ from the other core. The cores can be configured to produce Brillouin frequency shift levels of at least 30 Mhz relative to one another. These differences in shift levels may be affected by adjustment of the material compositions, doping concentrations and/or refractive index profiles of each of the cores. These optical fibers may also be used in BOTDR- and BOTDA-based sensor systems and arrangements.

    Abstract: A multimode optical transmission system and method that employs a higher-order-mode (HOM)-filter fiber. The system includes a transmitter has a light source that generates modulated light and that has a spatially non-uniform light emission. The system also has an optical receiver with a photodetector that receives and detects the modulated light. A multimode optical fiber link that includes a multimode optical fiber optically connects the light source and the photodetector. At least one HOM-filter fiber is optically connected to the multimode optical fiber. The HOM-filter fiber is configured to gives rise to an optical loss of 1 dB or less while increasing the modal bandwidth of the system by at least 10% as compared to using only the multimode optical fiber.

    Abstract: A multimode coupling fiber for optical data links features low coupling loss to silicon photonics lasers, VCSELs, single mode transmission fibers, multimode transmission fibers, and high speed receivers. The coupling fiber includes a core, an optional inner cladding region, a depressed index cladding region, and an outer cladding region. The relative refractive index profile of the coupling fiber includes a core region with a profile and a depressed index cladding region that facilitates low bending loss and high bandwidth. The mode field diameter of the coupling fiber is well-matched to standard single mode transmission fibers and the etendue of the coupling fiber is high enough to couple efficiently to multimode transmission fibers.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an optical waveguide interconnect may comprise providing a substrate, irradiating portions of the substrate's interior volume by directing a processing laser beam into the substrate surface, thus defining one or more surfaces that function as optic components, forming an embedded waveguide in the interior volume by directing the processing laser beam into the substrate surface, and etching away the weakened portions of the substrate's interior volume overlying the defined surfaces using an etchant. The optic components and the waveguide may be aligned to be in optical communication with each other such that an input beam of light may strike the defined surface of a first optic component, traverse the waveguide, and strike the defined surface of a second optic component.
