Modal-noise mitigator and associated method

A method for mitigating modal noise includes applying a time-varying mechanical force to a fiber segment of the multimode optical fiber in at least a first direction orthogonal to a fiber axis of the multimode optical fiber within the fiber segment. A modal-noise mitigator for a multimode optical fi...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method for mitigating modal noise includes applying a time-varying mechanical force to a fiber segment of the multimode optical fiber in at least a first direction orthogonal to a fiber axis of the multimode optical fiber within the fiber segment. A modal-noise mitigator for a multimode optical fiber includes an actuator configured to apply a time-varying mechanical force to a fiber segment of the multimode optical fiber in at least a first direction orthogonal to a fiber axis of the multimode optical fiber within the fiber segment.
