Four-mode PLC-based mode multi/demultiplexer with LP11 mode rotator on one chip for MDM transmission

We demonstrated a four-mode multi/demultiplexer using an LP<sub>11</sub> mode rotator and a parallel waveguide with a uniform height on one chip for mode division multiplexing transmission. Four-mode (LP<sub>01</sub>, LP<sub>11a</sub>, LP<sub>11b</sub>, and LP<sub>21a</sub> mode) multi/demultiplexing was successfully achieved with a fabricated PLC.
