To enable the accessibility of multiple fiber modes for optical data transmission, space-division multiplexing (SDM) offers promising solutions. For compact, rapidly manufacturable, and reproducible mode multiplexers, integration on photonic integrated circuits (PICs) is of particular interest.

As part of the photonics group at INT, my task is to develop and demonstrate PIC components for SDM systems. The focus lies on multi-mode fiber-to-chip coupling techniques within the BMBF project AZUR.
