This study analyses reported three and six-core mode selective photonic lanterns as examples. We also discuss ways to make the optimum profiles practically realizable. ...
Photonic lanterns are adiabatic photonic devices and are therefore known to have large device lengths. ...

The number of small-core fibers (i.e. an array of single or few-mode cores) that make a photonic lantern determines the number of spatial modes that they couple at the larger multimode fiber core end. ...
Photonic lanterns provide an efficient way of coupling light from a single large-core fiber to multiple small-core fibers. ...

Triple-clad photonic lanterns for mode scaling
2018
Optics Express
A 10-mode photonic lantern with insertion losses ranging from 0.6 to 2.0 dB across all the modes and a record-low pairwise 4-dB mode-dependent loss at C-band was demonstrated. ...
We propose a novel triple-clad photonic lanterns for mode scaling. This novel structure alleviates the adiabatic tapering requirement for the fabrication of large photonic lanterns. ...
For both cases in Fig. 2 , the input cores are the same graded-index core, which has been shown to be more advantageous during tapering than step-index core [10]. ...
