The aim of the present paper is to provide a comprehensive analysis of coupling losses in perfluorinated (PF) multi-core polymer optical fibers (MC-POFs), which consist of groups of 127 graded-index cores. In our analysis we take into account geometrical, longitudinal, transverse, and angular misalignments. We perform several experimental measurements and computer simulations in order to calculate the coupling losses for a PF MC-POF prototype. Based on these results, we propose several hints of practical interest to the manufacturer which would allow an appropriate connector design in order to handle conveniently the coupling losses incurred when connectorizing two PF MC-POFs.
本文的目的是对全氟（PF）多芯聚合物光纤（MC-POF）中的耦合损耗进行全面分析，该光纤由127个渐变折射率芯组成。在我们的分析中，考虑了几何、纵向、横向和角度失准。我们进行了几次实验测量和计算机模拟，以计算PF MC-POF原型的耦合损耗。基于这些结果，我们向制造商提出了一些具有实际意义的建议，以便进行适当的连接器设计，从而方便地处理连接两根PF MC-POF时产生的耦合损耗。
