Abstract :
Power loss against offsets in multimode fibres with several joints is analysed via a modal (Hermite-Gauss) approach. A Monte Carlo analysis of a long link with mode differential attenuation shows that the average loss per joint is significantly larger than that measured at a single joint with steady-state input distribution.
