A fan-in/fan-out device is one of the key components of multi-core fiber transmission systems. The developed device addresses individual cores of a multicore fiber and ensures low loss, reliable and robust connection. Fan-in/fan-out devices are tailored to the requirements of a multicore structure. Whilst standard single mode fibers compatible with G.652 are used in our device, other fibre types may be available. Our device enables the exploitation of multicore fibres within an existing optoelectronic infrastructure.
