Abstract

Provided is a few-mode optical fiber. The optical fiber includes: a core and a cladding enclosing the core. The cladding includes: a first inner cladding surrounding the core; a first high-refractive-index mode filter layer surrounding the first inner cladding; a second inner cladding surrounding the first high-refractive-index mode filter layer; a second high-refractive-index mode filter layer surrounding the second inner cladding; and an outer cladding surrounding the second high-refractive-index mode filter layer.
