TLDR
In this paper, the authors show that light signals with very narrow spectra are randomly distorted when transmitted via multimode graded-index fibres, which can be as high as −20 dB after transmission through 1 km of fiber.Abstract:
Light signals with very narrow spectra are randomly distorted when transmitted via multimode graded-index fibres. Detailed experimental results are given for the harmonic distortion, which can be as high as −20 dB, after transmission through 1 km of fibre. The distortion is reduced for laser sources with more longitudinal modes or fibres with higher dispersion.read more

Power loss, modal noise and distortion due to microbending of optical fibers
TL;DR: For a given overall loss, the results show that many uniformly distributed small amplitude microbends cause much less modal noise and distortion than a few large amplitudemicrobends.

Modal Analysis Of Loss, Noise And Distortion Due To Tilt Misalignment In Multimode Fiber Splices
TL;DR: In this paper, an electromagnetic modal theory is presented for characterizing a tilt between the axes of two parabolic-index multimode fibers, and the power loss, modal noise and distortion are analyzed by approximating the fiber modes by Laguerre-Gaussian functions.
