Abstract

The space division multiplexing system is helpful to break through the transmission limitations of traditional optical communication systems. Inter-fiber separation and the number of alternating dielectric layers of Bragg fibers array (BFA) are considered with view to applying BFA to space division multiplexing system. The simulation results indicate that BFA with improper inter-fiber separation will result in topological edge state, thus leading to strong crosstalk and high confinement loss, and its crosstalk is hard to decrease with the increase of alternating dielectric layers. The confinement loss of each Bragg fiber in BFA with proper inter-fiber separation is greatly lower than that of traditional Bragg fiber with the same parameters. Our optimized BFA can be realized with low crosstalk of below −30 dB for 55.4 km propagation. In addition, the arrangement analysis of BFA in this paper provides some constructive suggestions for the application of traditional Bragg fiber in optical devices design such as BFA laser and omnidirectional emitting laser.
