Abstract :
A multimode concatenation model is derived using the link mode power distribution and fiber mode group delay times. The model is used deterministically to predict the bandwidth length exponent γ for seven concatenations. γ depends directly on the amount of correlation existing among the fibers´ mode group delays. Under the assumption that the fiber ensemble is stationary and satisfies ergodicity conditions, we are able to evaluate an ensemble-γ. It can be used statistically to estimate the concatenation-γ.
