Abstract

A new approach to the steady-state solution of the optical power flow equation in multimode fibres is presented. It takes into account the dependence on the modulation frequency of the optical guided power, starting from a very general trial solution. The steady-state attenuation coefficient and optical power distribution (in amplitude and delay) can be numerically evaluated for any kind of index profile and fibre perturbation.
