“…Consequently, the modal dispersion increases which limits the B × L product 30 . Furthermore, the coupling coefficient D can be determined by using the following expression: 31 where and are variances of the output modal power distribution measured at the GI‐MMF lengths Z 1 and Z 2 , respectively, where Z 2 > Z 1 . By using two standard deviation values equal to and , which are calculated experimentally at MMF lengths z = 0 and z = 1 km , respectively, 31 the value of the coupling coefficient is around 10.5 km −1 .…”
