Abstract

A multi-core fiber (MCF) structure with a new filtering concept based on core-to-core coupling is proposed. With the proper choice of the multi-core fiber’s geometry, filters can be constructed by splicing two identical, axially aligned, single-mode fibers (SMFs) to both ends of a seven-core fiber (7CF) with length L in the form of a chain: SMF-7CF-SMF (S7S). The eigen-mode expansion method is used to model the propagation of light in these filters. The proposed device is useful as a bandpass/bandstop filter in optical fiber communications systems..
