Abstract
In this paper, we propose a crescent-shaped pore-assisted structure to realize a few-mode multi-core (four-mode six-core) optical fiber with low inter-core cross talk for large-capacity long-distance communication. Using the finite element method, a theoretical analysis is conducted at a working wavelength of 1550 nm, where the proposed optical fiber achieves a total loss of less than 0.2 dB/km and an effective mode field area of greater than

, and the relative multiplexing factor reaches up to 28.3, which significantly increases the core density. The maximum dispersion of the four supported linear polarization modes is less than

, which is greatly advantageous in communication systems. In addition, the fabrication scheme of the proposed optical fiber is practical, and its standard-compatible 42 µm core pitch promises the feasibility of integration with commercial optical networks.
