Summary :

Variation of power distribution caused by splices is calculated as a function of numbers of splice points and misalignment. The calculated power distribution is verified by experiment. Calculation shows that mode conversion caused by splice makes power distribution approach to steady-state. The numbers of splice points required to make power distribution stationary are calculated as a function of misalignment. Pulse broadenning in the fiber transmission line is calculated for the case that fibers are mode conversion free. Pulse broadenning rate becomes proportional to the square root of transmission distance after optical pulse passes many splice points. These calculated results show that mode conversion caused by splice has similar tendency as that caused by longitudinal inhomogeneity of waveguide.
