Abstract
The state of mode coupling in step-index plastic-clad silica fibers with chemically etched section is investigated in this article using the power flow equation. It was found that the plastic-clad silica fibers with chemically etched section showed much stronger mode coupling than plastic-clad silica fibers without chemically etched section. Consequently, the equilibrium as well as steady state mode distributions were achieved at shorter fiber lengths in plastic-clad silica fibers with chemically etched section than in the same type of optical fibers without chemically etched section.
Key words : Key words: Plastic-clad silica fiber; equilibrium mode distribution; steady-state distribution power flow equation
