Abstract

Spatial domain multiplexing (SDM) offers a degree of photon freedom to optical fibers. One variant of SDM utilizes ring-like output profiles, created through specific oblique input angles, and shows high-performance gains. Conventional modeling of this system utilizes Laguerre–Gaussian based models; however, these models are more suitable for free-space environments as opposed to fiber propagation. Therefore, a diffraction-based approach to deriving a Bessel–Gaussian beam solution is presented that adheres well to experimental data while maintaining continuity requirements. The derived model shows an input angle to azimuthal index relationship proportional to the transverse wave number of the carrier optical fiber region of SDM architectures.
