ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber having a thermally expanded multiple core section. One such multiple core section may be fabricated by fusing together non-etched multiple fiber claddings resulting in the multiple cores having expanded mode fields that are positioned in close proximity to each other in a common cladding, without signal coupling between the cores. The close proximity of the cores having expanded mode fields may allow for tighter alignment of light waves propagated from one core to other cores.
