Abstract: In embodiments, a mode selective optical fiber coupler may include a first propagation waveguide and a second propagation waveguide joined along a coupling length L. The first propagation waveguide and the second propagation waveguide may be tapered from an input face and an output face of the coupler to a midpoint of the coupler. An LP01 mode of an optical signal with a wavelength of 800-950 nm coupled into the first propagation waveguide propagates through the first propagation waveguide and is emitted from the first propagation waveguide. An LP01 loss of the coupler at the output face is less than 1.0 dB. An LP11 mode of the optical signal coupled into the first propagation waveguide is cross-coupled to the second propagation waveguide and is emitted from the second propagation waveguide. An LP11 loss of the coupler at the output face is less than 1.5 dB.

Abstract: The disclosure provides optical fibers that exhibit low macrobend loss at 1550 nm at bend diameters between 10 mm and 40 mm. The relative refractive index profile of the fibers includes a trench cladding region with small depth, large width and a trench volume configured to minimize macrobend loss at large and small bend diameters. The optical fiber includes an outer cladding region that surrounds and is directly adjacent to the trench cladding region and an optional offset cladding region between the trench cladding region and the core region. In some embodiments, the trench cladding region has a relative refractive index that decreases monotonically from the inner radius to the outer radius. The monotonic decrease in relative refractive index may have a constant slope. The low macrobend loss at large and small diameters makes the optical fibers well suited for space-constrained deployment environments, such as data centers.

The guide region comprises an inlet end positioned adjacent to a first surface of the optical transforming layer and an outlet end positioned adjacent a second surface of the optical transforming layer. The guide region propagates light from the inlet end to the outlet end such that the light is directed from the first surface to the second surface. The guide region includes a phase-separated glass comprising a continuous network phase and a discontinuous phase. A relative difference in index of refraction between the continuous network phase and the discontinuous phase is greater than or equal to 0.3%. The discontinuous phase comprises elongated shaped regions aligned along a common axis and having an aspect ratio greater than or equal to 10:1.
