  • Abstract
    The need to predict modal-noise performance limitations in optical-fiber systems has led to noise characterization techniques based on probability density functions. These have been used for evaluation of both components and systems, and are found to give meaningful and repeatable data. The modal-noise probability density function (PDF) can be generated from several individual readings which provide information on the probability of any noise level by extrapolation.
