Effect of loss on propagation in multimode fibres

An analysis is given of propagation in multimode optical fibres having finite transmission loss. Using experimentally-deduced values for the cladding loss, fibre dispersions are calculated for a range of input beam widths and are compared with experiment. It is shown that the core loss has little ef...
