Abstract
Multi-core fiber based on space division multiplexing technology provides a practical solution to achieve multi-channel and high-capacity signal transmission. However, long-distance and error-free transmission remains challenging due to the presence of inter-core crosstalk within the multi-core fiber. Here, we propose and prepare a novel trapezoid-index thirteen-core single-mode fiber to solve the problems that MCF has large inter-core crosstalk and the transmission capacity of single-mode fiber approaches the upper limit. The optical properties of thirteen-core single-mode fiber are measured and characterized by experimental setups. The inter-core crosstalk of the thirteen-core single-mode fiber is less than -62.50 dB/km at 1550 nm. At the same time, each core can transmit signals at a data rate of 10 Gb/s and achieve error-free signal transmission. The prepared optical fiber with a trapezoid-index core provides a new and feasible solution for reducing inter-core crosstalk, which can be loaded into current communication systems and applied in large data centers.
