Abstract(in English) The design of four-, six-, and eight-mode scrambling-type mode multi/demultiplexers (mode scramblers) together with the design methodology for low mode-dependent loss (MDL) characteristics is presented for mode-division multiplexing system (MDM). First, we consider four and eight mode scramblers and demonstrate that if the number of modes is 2N, it is possible to construct low-MDL mode scramblers by using Y-branch waveguides and mode rotators. Next, with regard to the six mode scrambler, the MDL is large if Y-branch waveguides are cascaded simply. It is demonstrated that by combining two and 4 mode scramblers, low MDL six mode scrambler can be designed.
