Abstract
ABSTRACT In this paper, a tapered waveguide design was used in mode division multiplexing (MDM) as a mode converter. It was investigated to be used for switching purposes in short haul communication in a data center. This paper shows the results of a Gaussian beam being converted into transverse modes and vice versa. It also shows the multiplexed version of the modes being converted into a specific target mode. There are two and three combinations of multiplexed modes in the tapered waveguide design, with modes computed as well as converted into targeted modes. The reason for this experiment is to accomplish the goal of replacing opto-electronic switches at data centers into an all-optical switching mechanism. Therefore, this design will enable the processing of large amounts of data using optical switching apparatus by creating additional data channels. It results in providing an all-optical mode conversion switch that incorporates high-speed routing of data from one server into another data center.
