Effects of multi-path interference (MPI) on the performance of transmission systems using Fabry-Perot lasers and short bend insensitive jumper fibers

We measured the effects of MPI for systems that include Fabry-Perot lasers and short bend insensitive fibers and analyzed contributions from different factors including both laser and fiber characteristics.
