Abstract:
Splice loss and mode conversion have been studied theoretically for a multimode fiber. Equations have been derived using electromagnetic theory for calculating splice loss and mode conversion in the general multimode fiber. Numerical examples are given for a square-law index fiber in both arc-fusion splice and V-groove splice cases. The influence of the refractive-index profile at the splice on splice loss and mode conversion coefficient is shown. The change in baseband frequency response due to mode conversion at splice is calculated.

Attenuation
When constant series resistance and shunt conductance are present, voltage and current equations are modified. The propagation constant indicates that voltage and current waves consist of both forward and backward traveling components. These waves attenuate as they propagate, with the attenuation factor related to the resistance and conductance. In a...
