Abstract: We present experimental and theoretical results of research in the area of utilization multicore fibres (MCF) for transmission, amplification and power splitting. We show methods like fiber post processing or MCF geometry tailoring for achieving specific performance of the fibres and fibre components. Brief introduction to light behavior describing methodology in both, coupled and uncoupled, MCF type is also presented.
