Popis: We propose and experimentally demonstrate LP11–LP01 mode conversion based on an angled-facet two-mode fiber (AFTMF). It is a simple device based on a standard two-mode fiber with an output facet angle of 43°. At a specific orientation, an incident LP11 beam on the angled-facet can be transformed into a transmitted beam with single-lobe mode profile. The single-lobe beam coupled into a target few-mode fiber (FMF) has successfully excited LP01 mode in the target FMF. The feasibility of the AFTMF to operate as a mode converter is demonstrated. The proposed device is a simple and low-cost mode conversion tool for the space division multiplexing system.
