Mode coupling in a multimode optical fiber with microbends
Abstract:
Experimental observations of the radiation pattern of a short multimode fiber with different induced deformations are reported here. Theoretical calculations are also made, based on the assumption of strong coupling between two particular modes of the fiber, and are in good agreement with experiment. We obtain numerical evaluations of the coupling coefficients and excess loss as a function of the amplitude of the deformation, and indications on the requirements to be met in cabling the fibers are derived from the experimental results.

01:20Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
01:27¹H NMR: Long-Range Coupling
In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene π orbitals.
