Characterization of space-division multiplexing amplifiers using a swept wavelength coherent reflectometer

We directly measure the optimum length and the mode-dependent gain of multi-core and few-mode optical amplifiers using a swept wavelength interferometer operated in reflection mode. The technique requires only one space multiplexer and eliminates cut-backs.
