Abstract
High order modes in a six-mode fiber are separately observed and characterized using an Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry (OFDR) method. Due to the difference in group refractive index between fundamental mode and the high order modes, Fresnel reflection peaks for each mode can be separated in beat frequency domain with their corresponding time delay. In the experiment, the fundamental mode and high order modes are excited in turn and observed at a 6.6 m six-mode fiber end, which agree with their beat frequency difference in theoretical simulation. The demonstration provides a flexible and feasible method for mode identification and characterization of all kinds of fibers.
