An introduction to optical waveguides

In this article present results of measurements for refractive index profile of silica graded multimode optical fibers are
presented. The measurement technique is described. Estimation of parameters for profile defects of investigated
samples of multimode optical fibers is received. Analysis data for effect of profile defects of graded multimode optical
fibers (MMF) on differential mode delay (DMD) is presented.

Investigation of defects of refractive index profile of silica graded-index multimode fibers

This work presents an alternative model of multimode fiber links with conventional silica weakly-guiding graded-index irregular multimode fibers under a few-mode optical signal propagation generated by laser source. The proposed model is based on the piecewise regular representation. It takes into account launch conditions, differential mode delay, both lower- and higher-order mode chromatic dispersion, differential mode attenuation, and mode mixing and power diffusion occurring due to real fiber irregularity and micro- and macrobends. We present some results of introduced model approbation with following pulse propagation simulations. A close matching with measured pulse responses at the output of test fibers is noticed.

Modeling and Simulation of Piecewise Regular Multimode Fiber Links Operating in a Few-Mode Regime

Based on coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equation (CNLSE) piecewise regular model of few-mode long-haul fiber optic transmission link with DWDM and Erbium amplifiers is considered The few-mode fiber optic transmission link model takes into account the loss, dispersion, differential mode delay, nonlinearity and non-regularity Based on mode coupling theory and Gaussian approximation modification of split-step Fourier method for the numerical simulation of the CNLSE is introduced Examples of simulation of a few-mode long-haul fiber optic transmission link by this method are presented

Modeling and simulation of a few-mode long-haul fiber optic transmission link

Method for mode coupling coefficient estimation of arbitrary order guided modes at the splice of diverse optical fibers
under axial and angular misalignments is proposed. It is based on the well-known overlap integral method and modified
Gaussian approximation been generalized for analysis of the weakly guiding optical fibers with an arbitrary axialsymmetric
refractive index profile. Analytical expressions for the arbitrary order mode coupling coefficients under splice
misalignments were developed. Some results of proposed method approbation are represented.
