Abstract
We measure inter-modal Rayleigh backscattering in few-mode optical fibers and compare the experimental results with simulation results obtained from newly-developed analytical formulae. Excellent agreement between theory and experiment allows investigation of mode-coupling dynamics using OTDR.
