Embodiment Construction

[0139] The general principle of the invention relies on the use of a specially designed mode group separation fiber inserted in the optical path between the light source and the optical component under test and having The ability to separate these mode groups in the temporal domain before or after the component. As a result, the behavior of these mode groups as they pass through optical components can be studied independently of each other.

[0140] Thus, embodiments of the present invention provide a simple and valuable method for characterizing the mode group properties of multimode light passing through an optical component. The experimental results so realized can be used to improve the design of multi-mode fiber and few-mode fiber as well as the design of optical components.

[0141] Figure 1~6 The characteristics of the mode group separation fiber according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0142] As stated earlier in this document, in an...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for characterizing the mode group characteristics of multimode light passing through an optical component, said method comprising the steps of: arranging a mode group separation fiber in the optical path between a light source and said optical component; and A discrete interval between the center of the core and the radius of the core of the mode group separating fiber, a reference pulse of light having a wavelength λt is injected from the light source into the optical assembly through the mode group separating fiber. The mode group separation fiber is a multimode fiber with an α-profiled graded-index core, where the value of α is selected such that the mode group separation fiber satisfies the following criteria at a wavelength λt: formula (I) where: Δτ is the time delay difference between successive mode groups; L is the length of the mode group separating fiber; and ΔT REF is the quarter maximum full width of the reference pulse.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of optical fiber transmission, and more particularly to a method for characterizing the mode group properties of multimode light passing through an optical component for use in such optical fiber transmission. Background technique [0002] Multimode fiber is successfully used in high speed data networks. However, multimode fibers suffer from intermodal dispersion due to the fact that, for a particular wavelength, multiple light modes propagate simultaneously along the fiber carrying the same information, but travel at different propagation velocities. Modal dispersion is expressed in the form of Differential Mode Delay (DMD), where the Differential Mode Delay (DMD) is the pulse delay (ps / m) between the fastest mode and the slowest mode passing through the fiber measure of difference. [0003] To minimize modal dispersion, multimode optical fibers used in data communications typically include a core exhibitin...
