Title :
Modal noise models for optical fibers under restricted mode launch conditions
Author :
Papen, George C.
Abstract :
We analyze the statistics of modal noise when few modes are launched into an optical fiber. The results differ significantly for the case of uniform power distribution among all possible modes. Numerical simulations and measurements are discussed
