Dependence of Cladding Diameter on Inter-core Crosstalk in Heterogeneous Multi-core Fibers

We demonstrated the dependence of inter-core crosstalk (IC-XT) on the cladding diameter of heterogeneous two-core fibers. It was indicated that a large cladding diameter has some influence to suppress the IC-XT.
