Wavelength-Selective Switch for Few-Mode Fiber Transmission

Abstract

We demonstrate combined WDM/MDM transmission over a novel few-mode fiber based 1 x 9 wavelength-selective switch that supports fibers with 6 spatial and polarization modes. The effect on transmission of cascaded passband filtering and mode-dependent loss build-up is investigated in detail.
