A mode field adapter is an essential device to efficiently transfer light for a standard single-mode fiber to the LP01 mode of large mode area (LMA) and low order mode multi-mode fibers. The performance is greatly superior to using a regular splice, as an ordinary splice will produce in a degraded quality output beam, with a poor M2 factor. Mode field adapters also generate lower losses than ordinary splices, thus ensuring higher power transmission compared to regular splicing.
