Abstract :
The power spectrum of fibre output intensity fluctuation was measured over 1.0 × 10¿3 to 1.0 Hz for elliptical-jacket, PANDA and twisted fibres. Peaks peculiar to the mode conversion effect were observed for the linearly birefringent fibre, while the twisted fibre showed flat frequency characteristics with a reduced fluctuation level.
