  • Abstract
    Mode transition matrices described the transfer of modes through a multimode fibre-optic component. These matrices are used to calculate the differential mode attenuation and thus the total loss of concatenated components. Here, matrices of connectors and their implementation into a system of concatenated couplers are presented. The experimental results demonstrate that the matrix is a powerful means to characterise the loss behaviour of a multimode fibre-optic network.
