Influence of launch beam distribution on power flow and angular division multiplexing in seven-core silica optical fibers

We analyze the effect of launch beam distribution on space-division multiplexing (SDM) performance in multimode multicore silica optical fibers (MM MC SOF) with seven cores. The time-independent power flow equation (TI PFE) is used to explore the effect of the width of the distribution of the Gaussi...
