Abstract
Few-mode fibers (FMFs) are promising solutions to mitigate the capacity crisis in fiber-optic communication by supporting space-division multiplexing (SDM), and mode-division multiplexing (MDM). In this work, we have proposed a modified-graded-index fiber profile that effectively supports four linearly-polarized (LP) modes with low bending loss and has a large mode area. This design claims to support mode multiplexed transmission in C-band.
