Abstract:
Using the power flow equation, investigated in this article is the state of mode coupling in large core step-index silica optical fibers. Results show the coupling length at which the equilibrium mode distribution is achieved and the length of the fiber required for achieving the steady-state mode distribution. Since large core silica optical fibers are used at short distances (usually at lengths of up to ten meters), the light they transmit is at the stage of coupling that is far from the equilibrium and steady-state mode distributions.

Key words:
Silica optical fibers, mode coupling
