Product Overview

The Photonic Lantern offers a single component

multiplexer/demultiplexer for mode division

multiplexing using Few Mode Fibers (FMFs). Unlike

alternative approaches the fiber lantern is fabricated in

the same medium as the fiber transmission and offers

optimum performance in a single component, compact

format. Phoenix utilizes in-house proprietary

technology to fabricate the lantern to offer the best

performance. Available in 3 or 6 fiber inputs the lantern

is compatible with commercially available FMF.

Product Details

The all-fiber Lantern is an adiabatic taper that provides

a low loss transition from the input fibers to the modes

supported by the waveguide at its output. In general,

the taper output FMF does not match that of the

system FMF, which will create both insertion loss (IL)

and mode dependent loss (MDL). Therefore, mode

matching is important to optimize the performance

from SMF’s to system FMF. Incorporated within the

Phoenix Photonic Lantern is matching between the

multimode taper output to the transmission FMF.

Technical Information

Phoenix optical specification is based on launching into commercially available FMF, which is

aligned and attached prior to delivery.
