Summary

Distributed mode-selective losses in a multimode fiber transmission link cause an accumulation of modal noise. A theory has been developed which gives an approximation of the signal-to-noise ratio at the end of the link due to the accumulated modal noise; it shows how this ratio is improved by mode-coupling in the fiber.
