Mode discrimination and bending properties of four-core homogeneous coupled multi-core fiber

Coupled modes of homogeneous coupled multi-core fiber are selectively excited and discriminated utilizing the difference of equivalent propagation angle. The mode conversion due to bending is investigated using far-field pattern observation.
