This article demonstrates the use of the Geometric Image Analysis feature to compute multi-mode fiber coupling efficiency. It tells you how much power gets into each mode. For more comprehensive calculations, e. for arbitrary input beam profiles, our RP Fiber Power software is the ideal tool. We saw in the first part of the tutorial that the profiles and the propagation constants of the propagation modes of a straight multimode fiber can easily be avulated for an arbitrary index profile by inverting a large but sparse matrix. Under some approximations, a portion of fiber with a. Building on the scientific understanding and technological infrastructure of single-mode fibers, multimode fibers are being explored as a means of adding new degrees of freedom to optical technologies such as telecommunications, fiber lasers, imaging, and measurement. The teaching materials for fiber optics are.
