Outline of Final Research Achievements

Optical devices for manipulating the spatial state of the light are investigated. Especially, silica-based optical devices for mode-division-multiplexed (MDM) transmission system are intensively investigated. Six-mode scrambling-type mode multiplexers with low insertion loss is proposed. For the compensation of mode dependent loss and differential group delay in the MDM system, 6-mode exchanger based on grating waveguide designed by wavefront matching (WFM) method is proposed and proof-of-concept device was successfully fabricated. Furthermore, the WFM method for the design of mode controlling devices containing waveguide discontinuities is newly developed, and ultrasmall WFM-designed Si waveguide mode exchanger was realized for the first time.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

モード分割多重技術は、空間分割多重技術の一つであり、光通信に残された最後の多重化軸と言われている。従来の長距離通信のみならず、データセンタ内外などあらゆるところに光ファイバ通信が用いられ、その需要が伸び続けている現在、従来と異なる多重化軸で光伝送容量を増やすことは、学術的のみならず、必ず解決しなければならない社会的課題でもある。本研究では、モード分割多重通信を実現する上で必須となる基礎光デバイスを研究、考案し、それを実験により実証した。これらの成果は将来のモード分割多重通信実現のための基礎技術となると考えられる。
