Transmission loss caused by an angular misalignment between two multimode fibers with arbitrary profile exponents

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The coupling efficiency between two multimode fibers with an angular misalignment is calculated. For the practically interesting cases of parabolic and step-index profiles, closed-form expressions and simple approximations are derived. Furthermore a general loss formula for small tilt angles and arbitrary profile exponents is presented.
