Abstract

We investigate the mode propagation and coupling in multimode fibers, based on modeling the wave propagation through the coupled power equation. Using this model, the power evolution of the various propagating modes in fibers can be visualized and the impact of mode-dependent loss and mode coupling can be quantitatively analyzed.
