Area of Science:

  • Optical Fiber Communications
  • Photonics
  • Waveguide Theory

Background:

  • Microbends in optical fibers induce mode coupling, affecting signal transmission.
  • Graded-index multimode fibers (GI MMF) are widely used but susceptible to microbend losses.
  • Understanding mode coupling is crucial for designing reliable fiber optic components.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a theoretical framework for analyzing mode coupling effects in GI MMF caused by microbends.
  • To accurately calculate coupling coefficients between guided modes under various microbending conditions.
  • To validate the theoretical model with experimental near-field measurements.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical analysis of mode coupling at microbends in GI MMF.
  • Matching incident and excited mode fields at the microbend.
