Abstract
Mode coupling is studied in a parabolic index fiber with a lossy boundary and square cross section. Statistical deviations of the fiber axis from perfect straightness and random changes of its width are considered as causing mode coupling. The excess loss caused by these mode coupling mechanisms and the loss penalty incurred for a certain degree of narrowing of the impulse response are estimated.
