Mode coupling in strained and unstrained step-index glass optical fibers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

By using the power flow equation, we have examined the state of mode coupling in strained and unstrained step-index glass optical fibers. Strained fibers show stronger mode coupling than their unstrained counterparts of the same type. As a result, the coupling length where equilibrium mode distribution is achieved and the length of fiber required for achieving the steady-state mode distribution are shorter for strained than for unstrained fibers.
