Dispersion Determined in Multimode Fibers
The document discusses the dispersion analysis in optical fibers, specifically focusing on single-mode and multimode fibers. Dispersion remains an enduring challenge for the characterization of wavelength-dependent transmission through optical multimode fiber (MMF). If the light launched into the fiber excites only the desired principal modes, modal dispersion can be eliminated. We revise the formalism used by this method and quantify measurement errors due to receiver thermal noise.
