Axial strain effects on optical fiber mode patterns

Axial strain effects in multimode fibers are studied. A few-mode fiber is mounted on a tensile testing machine and strained at various speeds. The output of a monochromatic light source passing through it is monitored and recorded. Relations are noted between the light output the magnitude of tensio...
