Abstract
An optical signal transmission system comprising a multimode optical fiber link. The multimode optical fiber link is for transmission of a plurality of optical signals in a plurality of spatial modes supported by the multimode optical fiber link. The optical signal transmission system comprises a photonic device in the form of a spatial mode add drop multiplexer coupled to the multimode optical fiber link and configured for at least one of coupling into the multimode optical fiber link an optical signal of the plurality of optical signals into a spatial mode of the plurality of spatial modes and coupling out of the multimode optical fiber link and into an optical fiber the optical signal of the spatial mode.
