Abstract
The present invention has an object to provide an optical fiber test method and an optical fiber test apparatus for measuring a mode dependent loss and an inter-modal crosstalk in a fundamental mode and a first higher-order mode at a connection point of a few-mode fiber. In the optical fiber test method and test apparatus according to the present invention, the mode dependent loss and the inter-modal crosstalk in the fundamental mode and the first higher-order mode at the connection point are calculated by using an approximation expression of an inter-modal coupling efficiency that is obtained in approximating electric field distributions of the fundamental mode and the first higher-order mode in a few-mode fiber by Gaussian function and Hermite Gaussian function.
