Abstract
We develop a theory of crosstalk in weakly-coupled multi-core fibers that accounts for the effect of intra-core polarization-mode coupling. We show that random polarization-mode coupling plays a critical role, just like other polarization-independent effects such as fiber bending and twist, in explaining the observed incoherent crosstalk in weakly-coupled multi-core fibers.
