Analysis of inter-core crosstalk in homogeneous multi-core two-mode fiber under bent condition

We analyze the inter-core crosstalk in a homogeneous multi-core two-mode fiber under bent condition by using coupled-mode equations. The effects of the intra-core mode coupling on the inter-core crosstalk are investigated for various bending radii.
