The Effect of Spatial Mode Distribution on Coupling Efficiency of Single-Mode Fiber: Theoretical Analysis and Experimental Verification

In this study, Zernike polynomials and optical fiber field theory are applied to build a mathematical model of coupling efficiency (CE) and spatial mode of aberrations. The theory built in this paper can be used to quickly calculate the CE affected by a single aberration as well as the aberrations c...
