Research on space-division multiplexing (SDM) came to prominence in early 2010 being
primarily proposed as a means of multiplying the information-carrying capacity of optical …

In recent years, multicore fiber (MCF) has attracted increasing interest for sensing
applications, due to its unique fiber structure of multiple parallel cores in a single fiber …

A theoretical and experimental study on the response of Brillouin scattering in multi-core
optical fibers (MCF) under different curving conditions is presented. Results demonstrate …

Multicore fiber (MCF) which contains more than one core in a single fiber cladding has
attracted ever increasing attention for application in optical sensing systems owing to its …

We present the fabrication of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) in a trench-assisted
heterogeneous multicore fiber (MCF). Two obviously different Bragg reflection peaks are …

We proposed and experimentally demonstrated a high-resolution omnidirectional vector
bending sensor based on 7-core fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZIs), which is …

An analytical discrete changes model of the inter-core crosstalk (ICXT) in real homogeneous
weakly-coupled multi-core fibers (MCF)(cores with similar but different parameters) with …

A compact high temperature sensor utilizing a multipath Michelson interferometer (MI)
structure based on weak coupling multicore fiber (MCF) is proposed and experimentally …

Recently, transmitting diverse signals in different cores of a multicore fiber (MCF) has greatly
improved the communication capacity of a single fiber. In such an MCF-based …

We propose and demonstrate a novel spatial-division multiplexed Mach-Zehnder
interferometer (MZI) structure in heterogeneous multicore fiber (MCF) for simultaneous …
