Efficient SMF-to-MCF Power Splitter Using Multimode Interference in Square Core Fiber
We present a low-loss (0.3 dB) SMF-to-MCF power splitter, utilizing multimode interference in a square core fiber. This scheme minimizes power loss and offers scalability to diverse multicore fiber types through graded-index-fiber lens integration.
