Measurement Based Modeling of Mode Coupling Effects in a 50 μm Graded Index Multi Mode Fiber

In mode division multiplexed transmission lines the amount of power coupled from one mode to another increases with the transmission length. Short lines can operate below the region of strong coupling. Especially here an accurate model of the impact of linear mode coupling is necessary. In recent years the influence of different perturbation effects onto the amount of mode coupling in multi mode f...
