The feature of a multicore fiber with one-ring structure is theoretically analyzed and experimentally demonstrated. The one-ring structure overcomes the issues of the hexagonal close-pack structure. The possibility of 10-core fiber with Aeff of 110 μm(2) and 12-core fiber with Aeff of 80 μm(2) is theoretically presented. The fabricated 12-core fibers based on the simulation results realized Aeff of 80 μm(2) and crosstalk less than -40 dB at 1550 nm after 100-km propagation. The MCF with the number of core larger than seven and the small crosstalk was demonstrated for the first time.
对具有单环结构的多芯光纤特性进行了理论分析和实验验证。单环结构克服了六角密排结构的问题。从理论上给出了有效面积为110μm²的10芯光纤和有效面积为80μm²的12芯光纤的可能性。基于模拟结果制造的12芯光纤在100公里传输后,在1550nm处实现了80μm²的有效面积和小于-40dB的串扰。首次展示了芯数大于7且串扰小的多芯光纤。
