Impulse response of a step index optical fiber excited by a Lambertian source.
TL;DR: The impulse response of a step index multimode optical fiber excited by a Lambertian source is presented using the power flow equation and it is shown that the width of the impulse response is proportional to the square root of the fiber length.

Design and performance of a mechanical strain optical sensor using a multimode fiber locally stressed by a periodical micrometric perturbation
TL;DR: In this paper, a new kind of intrinsic intensity modulation optical fiber sensor is presented, which is obtained by a mechanical perturbation of the fiber at the micrometric scale.
Rays, Waves, and Separatrices
TL;DR: In this article, a qualitative study on the ray and wave dynamics of light in optical waveguides with separatrix geometry is presented, where light is found to be guided due to an interaction of the input signal with dynamical equilibria within the waveguide geometry.

Leaky rays on circular optical fibers
Allan W. Snyder,D. J. Mitchell +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived a concise analytic expression for the loss of all weakly attenuated rays within a circular dielectric rod that geometric optics predicts are trapped by total internal reflection are in fact leaky.

Tunnelling leaky modes on optical waveguides
Allan W. Snyder,John D. Love +1 more
TL;DR: The lossless dielectric waveguide of circular cross section with an index of refraction greater than its surround supports trapped modes in addition to two subclasses of leaky modes: refracting and tunnelling modes.
