Analysis of the Scalar and Vector Random Coupling Models For a Four Coupled-Core Fiber
The files with simulation results for ECOC 20223 submission "Analysis of the Scalar and Vector Random Coupling Models For a Four Coupled-Core Fiber". "4CCF_eigenvectorsPol" file is the Mathematica code which enables to calculate supermodes (eigenvectors of M(w)) and their propagation constants of 4-coupled-core fiber (4CCF). These results are uploaded to the python notebook "4CCF_modelingECOC" in order to plot them to get Fig. 2 in the paper. "TransferMatrix" is the python file with functions used for modeling, simulation and plotting. It is also uploaded in the python notebook "4CCF_modelingECOC", where all the calculations for figures in the paper are presented. ! UPD 25.09.2023: There is an error in the formula of birefringence calculation. It is in the function "CouplingCoefficients" in "TransferMatrix" file. There the variable "birefringence" has to be calculated according to the formula (19) [A. Ankiewicz, A. Snyder, and X.-H. Zheng, "Coupling between parallel optical fiber cores–critical examination", Journal of Lightwave Technology, vol. 4, no. 9,pp. 1317–1323, 1986]: (4*U**2*W*spec.k0(W)*spec.kn(2, W_)/(spec.k1(W)*V**4))*((spec.iv(1, W)/spec.k1(W))-(spec.iv(2, W)/spec.k0(W))) The correct formula gives almost the same result (the difference is 10^-5), but one has to use a correct formula anyway. ! UPD 9.12.2023: I have noticed that in the published version of the code I forgot to change the wavelength range for impulse response calculation. So instead of seeing the nice shape as in the paper you will see resolution limited shape. To solve that just change the range of wavelengths, you can add "wl = [1545e-9, 1548e-9]" in the first cell after "Total power impulse response". P.s.
