Summary :

A method to estimae the coupling length of the fiber in which modes couple each other due to the random bending of fiber axis is given. The coupling length is estimated from the comparison of the measured transfer function to the theoretical one which is derived previously. The coupling length of a graded-index fiber is estimated to be about 0.8 km using this method. Further, the coupling length of recent graded-index fibers is presumed to be about several Km. For step-index fibers, it is estimated to be in the range between 0.5-5 Km.
