Abstract :
The performance and complexity of mode-division-multiplexing systems depend on the statistics of modal gains/losses and group delays. Under strong mode coupling, these statistics may be derived from the eigenvalue distributions of random matrices. Strong coupling optimizes performance and minimizes complexity.
