Abstract
Aspects described herein include an optical apparatus comprising a plurality of light-carrying media, a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) device optically coupled with the plurality of light-carrying media, and a lens arranged between the WDM device and a multicore optical fiber. An arrangement of the plurality of light carrying media and the WDM device are selected to align each of the plurality of light-carrying media with a respective optical core of the multicore optical fiber.
