mode coupling in waveguides
Mode coupling in waveguides refers to the phenomenon where different modes of light within a waveguide interact with each other, leading to energy transfer between the modes. This can result in cross-talk, mode mixing, and dispersion of the signal traveling through the waveguide. The extent and nature of mode coupling depend on the design and properties of the waveguide, as well as the wavelength of the light being transmitted.
