Efficient Interfacing between six optical fiber cores and a six-mode optical fiber with the micro-scale, 3D-printed photonic lantern

Caption

Experimental arrangement for conversion between individual cores and fiber modes with the photonic lantern. The photonic lantern is terminated with an increasing taper to match between the photonic lantern modes and the optical fiber modes placed directly at its output. The optical fiber is then brought to place and coupling power is maximized with translation stages.
