<p>A method and a connector for coupling cores in a multicore optical fibre (5) to a single core of a single core fibre (10) employs a first GRIN lens (2) of 0.25 pitch for connecting to the multicore fibre (5), a second GRIN lens (3) of 0.25 pitch for connecting to the single core fibre (10)and a diffractive optical element (4) connecting optically to both GRIN lenses for splitting incident wavefronts from N different cores into N ± 1-order wavefront pairs, whereby output from a plurality of cores within the multicore fibre (5) is received by the core of the single core fibre (10).</p> |
