The Photonic Lantern
arXiv:1503.02837 · doi:10.1364/AOP.7.000107
Abstract
Photonic lanterns are made by adiabatically merging several single-mode cores into one multimode core. They provide low-loss interfaces between single-mode and multimode systems where the precise optical mapping between cores and individual modes is unimportant.
