Fundamental demonstration of mode-group demultiplexing technique based on volume holographic demultiplexer

Abstract

We demonstrated the mode-group demultiplexing technique based on a volume holographic demultiplexer (VHDM) for mode-group division multiplexing transmission using multi-mode fibers. In the experiment, the VHDM achieved the separating of three mode-group channels with a single holographic recording medium. Thus, the modal cross-talk was obtained as −14.7 dB.
