摘要

Optical fiber communications rely on multiplexing techniques that encode information onto various degrees of freedom of light to increase the transmission capacity of a fiber. However, the rising demand for larger data capacity is driving the need for a multiplexer for the spatial dimension of light. We introduce a mode-division multiplexer and demultiplexer design based on a metasurface cavity. This device performs, on a single surface, mode conversion and coupling to fibers without any additional optics. Converted modes have high fidelity due to the repeated interaction of light with the metasurface's phase profile that was optimized using an inverse design technique known as adjoint analysis. We experimentally demonstrate a compact and highly integrated metasurface-based mode multiplexer that takes three single-mode fiber inputs and converts them into the first three linearly polarized spatial modes of a few-mode fiber with fidelities of up to 72% in the C-band (1530-1565 nm).
