Abstract
Using a splice loss versus transverse offset technique in conjunction with a modal splice loss model, the power distribution created by a number of lasers and LED's in multimode fiber has been determined as a function of mode number. This technique provides a convenient way to characterize sources and to determine the mode power distribution they produce in multimode graded-index fibers.Keywords
