  • Abstract
    Various measurements of the mode dependence of loss in fusion splices are presented. Both laser diodes and light-emitting diodes are employed as sources and measurements are made using both the cutback method and the backscattering technique. Empirical relations, quantifying the form of the mode dependent loss function, are derived and discussed.
