Abstract
In the strong mode-coupling regime, the model for mode-dependent gains
and losses (collectively referred as MDL) of a multimode fiber is extended
to the region with large MDL. The MDL is found to have the same statistical
properties as the eigenvalues of the sum of two matrices. The first matrix
is a random Gaussian matrix with its standard deviation proportional to the
accumulated MDL. The other matrix is a deterministic matrix with uniform eigenvalues
proportional to the square of the accumulated MDL. The results are analytically
correct for fibers with two or very large number of modes, and also numerically
verified for multimode fibers with other number of modes.
