Abstract
Different fibers generally have different mode characteristics so their connections in many practical applications often require mode conversion. The feasibility of mode conversion between fibers with different refractive index distributions based on adiabatically tapered structures is theoretically analyzed. The first kind of mode conversion is between ring core fiber and convex core fiber; the second kind is between multicore fiber and single-core fiber. Three common tapered structures are investigated: tapered core, diffused core, and tapered cladding. The analysis results show that mode conversion by a tapered structure is not suitable for all the modes for a ring core fiber and a convex core fiber; however, it can be accomplished for multicore fiber and single-core fiber.
