Splicing tolerances in graded-index fibres
Calculations are presented showing that, in general, a parabolic-index fiber is more sensitive to lateral misalignments within a splice than a step-index fiber. However, misalignments result in the excitation of leaky modes in graded-index fibers, and this can lead to optimistic joint loss measureme...
