Abstract
A first multimode optical fiber carries a mode division multiplexed (MDM) optical signal. The MDM optical signal is transmitted into a second multimode fiber from the first multimode optical fiber. The first and second multimode fibers are coupled via a fiber connector. The lateral offset between the two fibers at the connector is less than 2 μm.
