The evolution of modal crosstalk in multimode fibers is investigated using four different experimental and numerical approaches. Results converge to demonstrate that the fiber disorder alone is capable of generating steady states characterized by non-uniform modal power distributions, which promote the lower-order modes at the expense of the higher-order ones and are properly described by a weighted Bose–Einstein law.

Abstract

The evolution of modal crosstalk in multimode fibers is investigated using four different experimental and numerical approaches. Results converge to demonstrate that the fiber disorder alone is capable of generating steady states characterized by non-uniform modal power distributions, which promote the lower-order modes at the expense of the higher-order ones and are properly described by a weighted Bose–Einstein law.
