Abstract

Theoretical and experimental results are reported for a twin-core microstructured polymer fiber. A full-vectorial numerical method based supermode theory is applied in the symmetrical structure to obtain the interference between the even and odd modes. The wavelength dependence of the coupling length is measured, and compared to calculations using a full-vectorial numerical method. Both results show good agreement.
