Abstract

A new design of a mode scrambler for optical fibre measurements is presented. A rotation-splice technique has been used to mix the incoming mode power distribution in the fibre. The device is tested under different launch conditions to check its efficiency to produce a definite mode power distribution. Experimental results are presented.
