An improved scheme for characterization of multimode fiber systems is investigated. Characterization with transfer matrices requires multiple measurements for each component. The transfer function approach herein investigated requires only a single launch
Measurements of mode transfer matrices of various multimode fiber optic connectors are presented. To analyze the accuracy and repeatability of such measurements, a theoretical framework which employs mode transmission functions is derived. It is shown that
When designing a multimode fiber system (MFS) one should take into consideration the mode-dependent properties of the components of the system. Lack of a design tool for fiber-optics netowrks makes the problem more difficult. However, one can describe a
