Abstract

The polarisation beats accompanying decay of LP-mode groups in multimode optical fibres with a step refractive index profile are considered. The theoretical dependences of the degree of linear polarisation on the optical fibre length and light exit angle are determined based on the waveguide properties of these groups. The results obtained are compared with the existing theoretical concepts. It is shown that the light emerging from a multimode optical fibre near its axis can retain linear polarisation in fibres up to several meters long. Some experimental results are reported, which confirm the basic theoretical conclusions.
