Low attenuation mode converter with modal power distribution controllability by twist processing in step-index optical fibers

We proposed a short-fiber-length mode scrambler that reproduces the equilibrium mode distribution of an A3e fiber. The mode scrambler is compact, mode-controllable and has low attenuation. It is effective for not only hard plastic-clad fiber but also all step-index fibers, such as all-glass and plas...

Summary:We proposed a short-fiber-length mode scrambler that reproduces the equilibrium mode distribution of an A3e fiber. The mode scrambler is compact, mode-controllable and has low attenuation. It is effective for not only hard plastic-clad fiber but also all step-index fibers, such as all-glass and plastic optical fibers.
