摘要

A novel optical waveguide LP01/LP02 mode converter is proposed using combination of bicone structure based on the coupled-mode theory. It is composed of a cladding, a tapered core and combined bicone structure. It is found that this mode converter can have operating bandwidth of 1350-1700 nm, i.e. 350 nm, with a conversion efficiency of similar to 90% (similar to 0.5 dB) and low crosstalk from other modes
